Using package imports in flux

Fluxlang
1

Hi, I am trying to use a flux query to aggregate some data, and I need to use an import for the types package. I think the error may be in my syntax, but cannot get it to import anything no matter what package I choose.

My query is this:

option task = {name: "downsample2yHAData", every: 5m}

import "types"

// Handle numeric data
numericData = from(bucket: "homeassistant")
  |> range(start: -duration(v: "5m"))
  |> filter(fn: (r) => type(v: r._value) == "float" or type(v: r._value) == "int")
  |> aggregateWindow(every: 5m, fn: mean)

// Handle string data
stringData = from(bucket: "homeassistant")
  |> range(start: -duration(v: "5m"))
  |> filter(fn: (r) => type(v: r._value) == "string")
  |> last()

// Write data to the new bucket
union(tables: [numericData, stringData])
  |> to(bucket: "ha_2y_5m")`

The error I get is:

Error: 400 Bad Request: invalid options: loc 3:1-3:7: invalid statement @3:1-3:7: import

Could someone help me determine what I am doing incorrectly, or which documentation I should be looking through? The OSS 2.7 docs describe using import in flux as standard, unless I am missing something (also not unlikely)

Thanks folks

Yeah, I just needed to step away for a minute. Was able to get this to work by first, using the correct syntax for types.isType() and then loading the query in the query builder and then creating the task from there once I had the working query. I had no issue with importing in the query builder.

The syntax I needed was here types.isType() function | Flux Documentation
