Error when using upload function to migrate local Experience to Enterprise Portal

I need to migrate many Experience Builder Developer applications to our new Enterprise Portal and thought I found a somewhat automated approach using ArcGIS API for Python. https://developers.arcgis.com/python/latest/guide/experience-builder-workflows/

The upload function, however, is throwing an error and I can't make any sense of it. Here is the code:

from arcgis.apps.expbuilder import WebExperience from arcgis.gis import GIS #Establish a GIS connection to the target portal. target_portal = GIS("https://gistest.name.com/portal", "myuser.name") print(target_portal) Enter password: ········ GIS @ https://gistest.name.com/portal version:2024.1 # pass in a path to a local config.json when instantiating experience local_path = r"C:\WebDev\EBv1.16\downloaded-apps\myexbapp\cdn\3\config.json" local_exp = WebExperience(gis=target_portal, path=local_path) local_exp.datasources Output {'dataSource_2': {'id': 'dataSource_2', 'type': 'WEB_MAP', 'sourceLabel': 'Fish Range Search Map', 'itemId': '0f727a3fa60c42bea404xxxxxx', 'portalUrl': ......} new_item = local_exp.upload( gis=target_portal, publish=False, title="Fish Range Finder Test", auto_remap=True) new_item throws error: NameError Traceback (most recent call last) In [49]: Line 1: new_item = local_exp.upload( File C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\apps\expbuilder\expbuilder.py, in upload: Line 783: test_gis = GIS(url=url) NameError: name 'GIS' is not defined ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I don't know what 'GIS' name the error is referring to. The GIS module is defined and if it wasn't I would be getting an error in the first code block.
