Hi, I use current 1.4.14 to export and import a complex node from one environment to an other. On most nodes, the transfer works - but for 2 I get an error trying to import:
No link template 'canonical' found for the 'file' entity type

I have no idea what is causing the problem. How can I debug the problem to get the cause?

Could you please check the fix from #3556685: Retain url query and fragments in Text Field data-entity imports

I believe this is the root cause

@nginex, thank you for your hint. Unfortunately, the patch (diff) from your linked issue does not help in my case.

I checked my export yml and can agree that the problem is related to file entities embeded in CKeditor 5 text fields like:
<a href="/sites/default/files/media/document/2025-10/exmaple.pdf" title="Argumentation Kombinat" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3d9e7c13-8778-47e3-8009-85a31cdb8658" data-entity-substitution="file"><span>PDF</span></a>

If I remove
data-entity-uuid="3d9e7c13-8778-47e3-8009-85a31cdb8658"
The import of the node works.

It was working with 1.4.13, after we upgraded to 1.4.14, the issue happened.

Hi,

Looks like the importer tried to generate a canonical URL for the File entity however the File entity does not define a canonical URL template.
Using the createFileUrl() method in case of a File entity seems to solve the issue.
