Import source is neither file nor directory: ${target}

Error message

Import source is neither file nor directory: ${target}

What it means

`collectImportSources` stats the import target and accepts either a regular file or a directory (from which it collects `*.json` files). If the target exists but is neither — e.g. a fifo, socket, or device — it throws. (A nonexistent path fails earlier with ENOENT from `fs.stat` itself.)

Solutions

1. Pass a path to a regular credential JSON file or a directory containing `*.json` files.
2. Remove or replace the broken symlink with a path to the real file/directory.
3. Verify the target type with `stat <target>` before importing.

Example fix

// before
omp auth-broker import /tmp/creds.fifo   // neither file nor directory
// after
omp auth-broker import /tmp/credentials.json

import * as fs from "node:fs/promises";
const stat = await fs.stat(target);
if (!stat.isFile() && !stat.isDirectory()) {
  throw new Error(`${target} must be a JSON file or a directory of *.json files`);
}
await runImport({ source: target });

try {
  await runImport({ source: target });
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof Error && err.message.startsWith("Import source is neither file nor directory")) {
    console.error("Pass a credential JSON file or a directory containing *.json exports.");
  } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: `omp auth-broker import <target>` where `<target>` is a special file (fifo, socket, device) or a path that stat resolves to a non-file, non-directory type.

Common situations: Pointing import at a fifo/pipe created for streaming; a dangling or unusual symlink; passing a device path like `/dev/null` as the source.
