Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

The error TypeError: connection.getNumClients is not a function is thrown when the importTransactions() function is called. I have made a reproduction script to demonstrate:

git clone https://github.com/callumgare/actual-budget-api-bug
cd actual-budget-api-bug
npm install && env AB_SERVER_URL=%%%% AB_PASSWORD=%%%% AB_SYNC_ID=%%%% AB_ACCOUNT_ID=%%%% node index.js

What error did you receive?

Just wondering if you have any idea when a new version of https://www.npmjs.com/package/@actual-app/api might be pushed which would include this change? Ta

I've just noticed that the release notes for the actually app mention that it was fixed in 23.3.0 (https://actualbudget.github.io/docs/Release-Notes/) but this is for the api package so not sure what the situation is.

Good catch, pinged Matiss who has the ability to release an update to the API package. API releases are currently not connected to app releases, but we might want to consider changing that in the future.
