Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When I try to import a CSV file, I get an error in the Web App.
I was able to import a few CSV's prior to getting this error, but now, no matter what CSV I try to import, even previously working ones, I continue to get this error. I've tried clearing my cache, using a different browser and even had a successful import on my iPad using Safari but then right after, I get the same error.

I'm using the edge build as of the last commit just over 20 hours ago.

CSV file:
failing_import_Activity20231231_20240501_20240809.CSV

Console file:
console-export-2024-8-9_10-12-31.txt

What error did you receive?

Something internally went wrong. You may want to restart the app if anything looks wrong. Please report this as a new issue on Github.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox & Edge

Operating System

Windows 11

I've tried clearing my Firefox cache, using a private window and also tried on Edge (I never use it). Same error occurs.
I just tried on my iPad and it was able to import it fine.

I just tried the same file on my iPad again. It worked the 1st time, but fails on it and any CSV files that previously imported fine, too.

I've cleaned up unused Payees, and I've noticed when I try to import the same import file attached here, it creates randmon payees each time. Once it was:

Debit
Credit
Another attempt it was like this

This is just an observation, but I'm wondering if it has anything to do with this import exception I'm seeing

I'm experiencing this as well, using OFX too it seems.

@MatissJanis - I know we've had to roll back 30a70f5 before, do we need to look at it again?
