Description

I just tried Vikunja, installed the self-hosted variant via Docker, and followed the instruction for the Todoist import.

After starting the import, I waited for a while and nothing appeared. Peaking into the logs, I noticed that the import has failed at one point:

[Migration] Migration 1 from todoist for user 1 failed. Error was: json: cannot unmarshal object into Go value of type []*todoist.project

I enabled DEBUG level logging, recreated the container and restarted the import, which succeeded, but all I got were a bunch of loose tasks. No projects, no assignments.

[Migration] Successfully done migration 2 from todoist for user 1

I deleted the data and tried again and both times it failed with an EOF error.

[Migration] Migration 1 from todoist for user 1 failed. Error was: EOF
...
[Migration] Migration 2 from todoist for user 1 failed. Error was: EOF

Unfortunately, the debug logs don't really provide more information, before the failure, they simple contain lines like these:

It seems like on some occasions, the Todoist API would return a status 503 and Vikunja did not handle this properly. I've implemented retries in https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/commit/9efc0baf503061c305eb0d81e8f68426a0d5f063 and proper errors in these cases in https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/commit/8862b6f69d35cc4dcc64221a1308ce9e2e2d000f. In my own tests, everything works fine now, please check with the next unstable build.

Oh that was quick, thanks a lot!

The migration seems to have succeeded, but I still don't see any projects.

Does the importer even import that projects from Todoist?

Ohh, they do! 🎉

Thank you! 🙂

I guess this means, the migration was fully successful!
