Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/issues/1224

Description

When exporting tasks via the web interface the resulting JSON does not contain all tasks. Thus importing tasks into vikunja does not result in a complete restoration of tasks. Projects and various other data seem to be unaffected.

I am happy to provide any logs or other files you might need.

On the demo site the number of tasks seems to be roughly accurate to what is under each project or unorganized.

The only thing I can think of that is of note is I moved many tasks that were not organized into a project.

Vikunja Version

v0.24.1-1698-ddff1cf3

Browser and version

Zen 1.14.9b (Firefox 141.0)

Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site?

No

Screenshots

No response

Are you able to spot a pattern on the missing tasks?

I am not unfortunately. For Instance I have a project labeled "home." I just added a couple tasks using the cmd+k shortcut, I believe it's called quick add magic. In the data.json.

2.id === 3
2.tasks === null
2.positions.length === 150 
2.task_buckets.length === 46 
2.buckets.length === 3

The behavior persists irrespective if I go into the list view and add it to the supplied input or add via the shortcut.

And the same tasks are missing in every export you're doing?

It appears to be the case. Though It also seems to not export any news tasks in any project that I've got as well.

Anything special about the tasks which are missing from the export?

And nothing in the logs while the export is created?

Sorry I should have thought to gather this from the beginning.

The only messages referring to the export are listed below. Maybe it's silently failing on task 49 without continuing.

Not particularly. Assuming https://{vikunja}/tasks/49 is the correct task. It's #25 in a particular project I have. It's probably the only task I have that contains a comment, which I used to just keep a trail of interactions. It's got a reminder, description, and a comment. The comment is plain text as is everything else.

Edit: Additionally it's a single comment.

Edit: Unable to reproduce on your Demo Instance. If you'd like I could try deleting that task to see if it exports.

If you could delete it to see if it exports that would be great. It might be the comment, so maybe try deleting that first?

In any case, make a backup beforehand.

Unfortunately deleting the comment or the task did not work.

logs:

Do all missing tasks belong to the same project? Do you have at least one task from each project that you expect to be exported?

Does it work as expected if you reindex (vikunja reindex via the CLI) or disable Typesense?

https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/pull/1385 resolves this by bypassing Typesense for the user data export. Please check with the next unstable build (should be ready for deployment in ~30min, also on try).
