Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/3211

Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

A bug happened!

I just updated to the new version, and I created a new account.
In this new Account I could not import the exported CSV transactions anymore. If i switch to an older existed account, the Import tool just show me the transactions with the same CSV.
Anyone experiencing the same problem? Or do i miss somehing?

I reverted back to ver 24.7 , now the Import works again.
BTW: another problem is 24.8 installation does not create a startup menu link in C:\Users\user1\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Where are you hosting Actual?

Desktop App (Electron)

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Desktop App (Electron)

Operating System

Windows 11

@MatissJanis happy to look into this. Had a look at the error provided in #3227 but it's not super obvious how this change brought about this error. Will look into it more, but do you have any findings to share yourself @MatissJanis?

I understand this is a different error to what you reported in #3227. Right now I'm trying to figure out if this issue is reporting something that is the same what you report or if it's two different issues.

@psybers I believe the issue described here is unrelated to the issue you are referring to #3227.

Briefly checked, since I got this problem when creating a budget. To me it looks like it would happen on all new accounts, when trying to import csv.

From what I could tell, the missing csv-mappings-${accountId} causes a crash in getInitialMappings due to the trx_id and selected fields not being strings. Thus calling match on them fails.

I don't think so, I don't think the two issues are related.
