I am attempting to upload a dataset to Roboflow with the roboflow import cli command.
I downloaded a dataset from Universe with the following:
mkdir data-with-labels; cd data-with-labels; curl -L “[https://universe.roboflow.com/ds/YZbicMV8Z4?key=WrbJD7E7Ky](https://universe.roboflow.com/ds/YZbicMV8Z4?key=WrbJD7E7Ky)” \> roboflow.zip; unzip roboflow.zip; rm roboflow.zip; cd …
Then, I attempted to import the dataset with:
roboflow auth
roboflow import data-with-labels/
This command uploaded the images, but not the annotations. Is there a way to upload annotations with the CLI?

Hi @Robert_Shaw, you’ll need to update your command for upload. The command you’ve used will only upload images.

Mohamed,
My dataset in the the YOLOv5 format, so the directory looks like:
data-with-labels/data.yaml
data-with-labels/train/images
data-with-labels/train/labels
data-with-labels/valid/images
data-with-labels/valid/labels
data-with-labels/test/images
data-with-labels/test/labels
My understanding is that the roboflow import command is designed to be used in this situation - is there any documentation on how to use the import command to do upload a dataset structured in the YOLOv5 format?

I just downloaded one of my datasets to run the upload flow. I’ll create a video example of how it works.

Hi @Robert_Shaw, I just attempted this with my own projects, and found the same issue you presented.
I’ve prepared and submitted a full bug report for this issue to our Product Team.
I’ve marked the bug as well so I can keep you up to date on the status.

It is working now - I actually just tested it again to confirm
