:auto statement not working

Bug Report

When executing this query from a nodejs app
:auto LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM "file:///file.csv" AS csvLine FIELDTERMINATOR ';' CALL { ... } IN TRANSACTIONS

I get the following error:

Neo4jError: Invalid input ':': expected

  "CREATE"
  "DEALLOCATE"

  "WITH" (line 1, column 1 (offset: 0))
":auto LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM "file:///file.csv" AS csvLine FIELDTERMINATOR ';'     CALL {   ...  } IN TRANSACTIONS;"

I can execute that query from the browser with no issue at all.

My Environment

Javascript Runtime Version: node 20
Neo4j Version: 5.7.0
neo4j-driver: 5.11.0
Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04

Hey @mipcios, thanks for reporting.

this is not an issue. Browser has a set of commands started : which are not cypher code, but special Browser commands.

Afaik, The :auto command runs the query in a auto-commit transaction. This can be done in the driver by calling session.run("your query", params).

Okey, thanks for the input. Great library.
