Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I have checked my server logs and could not see any errors there
  • I will be attaching my server logs to this issue
  • I will be attaching my client-side (browser) logs to this issue
  • I understand that this issue will be automatically closed if insufficient information is provided

What happened?

I've noticed that when you use the actual budget for the first time (fresh install) and you open the rules page it is empty and you cannot even create your first rule.

I fixed this on my server by creating a payee and adding a rule for the payee, after that the rules page just works.
I guess there is a bug that won't show anything if it cannot find any rules, it could probably be fixed so it shows empty rules but the button to add first rule for example.

What error did you receive?

No error. Is just something that is missing.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Locally via Yarn

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox, Chrome

Operating System

Mac OSX
