Verified issue does not already exist?
What happened?
Fresh docker-based server setup. Imported YNAB4 budget without issue. Attempting to import a file, clicking the Import link and selecting a quicken file leads to a black box with spinner that never finishes.
Where are you hosting Actual?
Docker
What browsers are you seeing the problem on?
Chrome, Safari
Operating System
Mac OSX
@fantasygoat commented on GitHub (Sep 27, 2024):
I just did a CSV import and it worked. Seems to not like Quicken files.

👋 Would you mind providing an example import file so we could try and reproduce?

Thanks! I was able to reproduce and patch the issue here: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/3541
However, sadly your file is malformed so it will still not work when importing in Actual. But at least now it will show an error message.
@fantasygoat commented on GitHub (Oct 2, 2024):
How is it malformed? It's from my bank and it loads in NYAB4 and NYAB Web just fine. So basically I can't use my bank's downloaded files?
@MatissJanis commented on GitHub (Oct 2, 2024):
The problem is on line 38:
<ACCTTYPE>. Remove that empty tag and your imports will work 👍@fantasygoat commented on GitHub (Oct 2, 2024):
Wouldn't it be better to ignore empty tags? I can pre-process the files I guess but that seems needlessly painful.
@MatissJanis commented on GitHub (Oct 2, 2024):
Technically
<ACCTYPE>is invalid XML syntax for empty values. The correct syntax would be either</ACCTYPE>or<ACCTYPE></ACCTYPE>. So the XML parser correctly breaks when it parses the file.Though I can see that it would be better in this case to auto-magically ignore such elements. Feel free to either contribute with a PR or submit a feature request for this.
