Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Failed to parse date in OFX (downloaded from RBC Bank (US)), it shows up as 1899 something.

How can we reproduce the issue?

This is an example of the offending OFX (whitespace preserved):

							<STMTTRN>
									<TRNTYPE>
												CREDIT</TRNTYPE>
											<DTPOSTED>
												20231206211013</DTPOSTED>
											<TRNAMT>
												693.25</TRNAMT>
										<FITID>11866</FITID>
									<MEMO>Mailed in Deposit</MEMO>
										</STMTTRN>

I believe it is the line-break and/or whitespace before the date that is causing the issue.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Operating System

Linux

👋 Would you mind providing a full ofx file that we can use to reproduce the issue? Thanks!

I have attempted this action of "OFX Import", on a LONG transaction listing it failed, I tried a smaller time frame (30 days) and it was able to parse correctly and show imports. I did another from 1/1/25 to present day and it failed.

@seannaesmb how many transactions was your long transaction list? May be we can generate one of a similar size with dummy data and see if that reproduces the issue? I'm struggling to reproduce with the snippet provided in the report right now.

@Sarke you were right! Trimming the node values before importing solves this problem
