How to Import SVG through console as done through UI

[kthedude]

I used the following set of commands in the interactive console (running gimp --verbose -b -) and received the error "Error: Invalid type of argument 1 to gimp-image-get-active-layer"

Code:

(define myImage (file-svg-load 1 "infile.svg" "infile.svg" 90.0 0 0 0))
(file-png-save-defaults 1 myImage (gimp-image-get-active-layer myImage) "outfile.png" "outfile.png")

And if I run the following directly from the console, I get the error "unbound variable: myImage"

Code:

--verbose -b '(define myImage (file-svg-load 1 "infile.svg" "infile.svg" 90.0 0 0 0))' -b '(file-png-save-defaults 1 myImage (gimp-image-get-active-layer myImage) "outfile.png" "outfile.png")'

I appreciate the tip on ImageMagick, I used it successfully just now. I had seen some others say that it was not a good tool for SVGs and so I didn't peruse it.

However, I would like to know in practice how this would be done in gimp if possible.
