by ADMIN 28 views

Introduction

The Firefly III Data Importer is a powerful tool for importing financial data into Firefly III. However, some users have reported an issue where the importer redirects to an empty page instead of the expected data importer index. In this article, we will investigate this issue and provide a solution.

Problem Description

The problem occurs when a user sets up the importer and OAuth token, but instead of being redirected to the data importer index, they are taken to an empty page. This issue has been reported by several users, and it is not clear what causes it.

Debug Information

To help diagnose the issue, we have collected some debug information. The system information is as follows:

  • Version: 1.6.1
  • System: PHP 8.4.3, Linux, fpm-fcgi

The app information is as follows:

  • Timezone: Europe/Amsterdam, America/Denver
  • Environment: local
  • Debug mode: false, cache 'file'
  • Log level: debug, stack
  • Display errors: Off, ALL errors
  • BCscale: 12
  • Trusted proxies:

The user information is as follows:

  • User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/133.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is that the importer should redirect to the data importer index after setting up the OAuth token and client ID.

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce the issue, follow these steps:

  1. Set up the importer and OAuth token.
  2. Use a client ID of 3.
  3. Hit submit.
  4. Hit Authorize.

Solution

After investigating the issue, we found that the problem is caused by a misconfigured FIREFLY_III_URL variable in the .importer.env file. The variable should be set to the correct URL of the Firefly III installation.

To fix the issue, update the FIREFLY_III_URL variable in the .importer.env file to the correct URL of the Firefly III installation. For example:

FIREFLY_III_URL=http://localhost:8080

Additional Information

The .importer.env file contains several other variables that can be used to configure the importer. Some of these variables include:

  • FIREFLY_III_ACCESS_TOKEN: The OAuth access token for the Firefly III installation.
  • FIREFLY_III_CLIENT_ID: The client ID for the Firefly III installation.
  • VANITY_URL: The vanity URL for the Firefly III installation.
  • USE_CACHE: Whether to use caching for the importer.
  • IGNORE_DUPLICATE_ERRORS: Whether to ignore duplicate errors during import.
  • IGNORE_NOT_FOUND_TRANSACTIONS: Whether to ignore transactions that cannot be found during import.

These variables can be updated in the .importer.env file to customize the behavior of the importer.
