How to define a relationship with builtin User entity in jhipster jdl?

Question

The following

>yo jhipster:import-jdl model.jdl

entity Car{
brand String
 }

relationship  ManyToOne{
    Car{owner} to User
}

return parsing error:

ERROR! Error while parsing entities from JDL
[object Object]

The same relationship can be built using the command line. Is there a way to define this relationship in the JDL ?

jhipster 3.5.1

If there is could you please post all error log, because this only means there is a paring error which you already stated — Ismail Sahin, Aug 04 '16 at 16:27

I've got the same error, and a solution, at lest for my case ;)

$ yo jhipster:import-jdl ./entities-jdl.jh
The jdl is being parsed.
Error jhipster:import-jdl ./entities-jdl.jh 

ERROR! Error while parsing entities from JDL
[object Object]

Add only few entities or relationships in the file (entities-jdl.jh)
Run again yo jhipster:import-jdl ./entities-jdl.jh
Repeat until you find the error
Analyse the syntax of the lasts entities or relationship you added

In my case the JDL error was in this entity:

entity Serie {
    tipus TipusSerie required maxlength(20),
    nom String required,
    prefixe String required
}

enum TipusSerie {
    NORMAL, XEC_ESCOLETA
}

TipusSerie is an enum and cannot be validated with maxlength(20), so the correct JDL is:

entity Serie {
    tipus TipusSerie required,
    nom String required,
    prefixe String required
}

enum TipusSerie {
    NORMAL, XEC_ESCOLETA
}

I suposse that jhipster hasn't an error messages for that kind of error and shows a generic error message.
