Replicated here with latest Docker image (server 22.10.25) running on fly.io. Nothing in the console/network request of any interest as far as I can see.

Hey @spezzino & @ijecode

I am not sure what is going on here, I think we might need @jlongster to have a look over this one, I am really sorry about this.

Cheers
Rich

@ijecode I don't suppose you have a YNAB export we could test with?

Test Budget.zip

Here's a YNAB 4 one with a test budget I created.

@TomAFrench made a bunch of changes to the importers so he might be a good person to take a look. Here's one of his PRs: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/230

I am also having this problem, both Windows 10 and Linux Mint, via Vivaldi, Firefox and Edge.

My minor contribution: I was hosting this in a VM on my NAS, and I monitored the traffic on the NIC to see if it was actually uploading the file. the answer seems to be no, as there was no traffic associated with clicking the upload button.

@MatissJanis commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2022):

Started debugging the issue. Found two issues so far

First: Both nYNAB and YNAB4 fails with the following error message: net.connect is not a function. This is coming from the kcab worker. It's not able to set up the socket connection.

Second: YNAB4 crashes with blank screen because we are missing a else return statement here. The YNAB4 API request is interpreted as "success" and hence the user is redirected to the next page. But because the budget has no data.. we see a blank screen.

I will see if I can continue investigating tomorrow. Signing off for today.
