"message":"Unauthenticated" when accessing /api/v1/accounts/ during POST import with correct token

[goebeler]

I am running into the error mentioned above when I try to import via POST. Using the Importer's UI works just fine. I am running everything in docker containers.

Here's some log messages:
curl output when trying to submit a csv and a json file to import:

2024-10-17 22:28:56: Overrule token with token from Authorization header.

2024-10-17 22:28:56: Import exception (see the logs): The default account in your configuration file (1) does not exist.

at the same time my docker containers produce the following messages:

The access token is correct. If I replace it with something obviously wrong or leave it out, the import already fails when trying to access /api/v1/about. Using the correct token I get past this point and it fails when trying to access the account information.

Could the reason be that I use a client Id for the front end but a personal access token for the POST request? Is there a way to use a clientId with a POST request?

Hey, thanks for opening a discussion.

Well if the token was correct it would work, I expect. Using client ID's and tokens at the same time isn't really an issue.

Did you try replacing the token with a new one?

[goebeler]

Yes, that did not make a difference. And like I said, if I replace the token with something obviously wrong like "foobar" then the error is different. With a wrong token I get a 401 when trying to access /api/v1/about.

Do you have an account with ID 1?

[goebeler]

Where do I see te account's id? And I suppose I do since I created the config using the importer GUI.

Edit:
I can call accounts/show/1 on the firefly instance and see one of my accounts, so I assume the ID is correct.

[JC5]

Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I can't seem to replicate this either. It works or it doesn't, I can't get it to "stop" half way.

[goebeler]

I'll have a look at the code, maybe I can see something.
