📄 Description

Investigation and Plan for Syncing Error Issue

  • Understand the issue - users importing transactions via third-party tools (Lunchflow) see generic sync error
  • Locate error message source - found in packages/desktop-client/src/sync-events.ts line 365
  • Trace sync error handling - found catch-all error handler in packages/loot-core/src/server/sync/index.ts line 604-608
  • Improve error logging and capture more error details in sync catch-all handler
  • Add better error context to help debug sync failures
  • Test the changes to ensure error details are properly captured and logged
  • Run type checking and linting
  • Document changes

<issue_description>### Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

I am using Lunchflow to import transactions into Actual. While the terminal finds the transactions and loads them into Actual I get the following error: ''We had problems syncing your changes. Please report this as a bug by opening a GitHub issue.' 'No transactions show up in Actual till the next day around 7 P.M if I load them in manually threw the terminal. I am running Actual on a self hosted docker in Unraid. I have a cron job set up for auto-import which also does not work because of this issue. The customer service of Lunchflow did not find any issues on their side. They said the issue lies with Actual.
