jhipster import-jdl not generating entities from jdl file - jhipster

Question

I have created a jdl file using jdl-studio.
I tied to create entities from jdl file using jdl-import.
following is the snippet of my cmd terminal:
D:\spring-boot\examples\espressob>yo jhipster:import-jdl ./jhipster-jdl.jh
The jdl is being imported.
D:\spring-boot\examples\espressob>
the problem
It just prints that the jdl file is being imported, thats it.
I have checked if it generated code for entities from the jdl file, unfortunately it did not.

dto all with mapstruct
Tried :
removing relationships with User entity -> not working
re arranging sequence of entries in jdl file (first all entities, then relationships) -> not working

I try your jdl-file with jhipster 3.6.1 version and it works with the following warning:
$ yo jhipster:import-jdl ./jhipster-jdl.jh
The jdl is being parsed.
**Warning: An Entity name 'User' was used: 'User' is an entity created by default by JHipster. All relationships toward it will be kept but any attributes and relationships from it will be disregarded.**
Writing entity JSON files.
Generating entities...
Also would recommend removing the commas at the end of the last field in the entities definitions:
entity InsuranceProvider {
name String required,
isActive Boolean,
createdDate ZonedDateTime,
modifiedDate ZonedDateTime
}
Instead of:
entity InsuranceProvider {
name String required,
isActive Boolean,
createdDate ZonedDateTime,
modifiedDate ZonedDateTime ,
}
