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?

I've updated to the latest version 24.11.0 following these steps:

  • Stop server
  • Run git pull
  • yarn install
  • yarn start

And then I opened the browser to: localhost:5006

Message shown was "Initializing connection to local database....." seemed stuck so I refreshed the page and now the page asks me to "Download File" and I do so. Again, the page is stuck on "Downloading" message.

Here is the output I see currently in the terminal:

Kiran@Kiran-PC D:\Actual\actual-server git:(master)
(0) > yarn start

Checking if there are any migrations to run for direction "up"...

👋 Please reach out via the community discord for tech support. You'll have much more luck there.

Closing as this isn't a bug as far as I can see.
