Could you give us the complete stack trace of the browser log?
It should contain more details about where in our could this happens.

Hmm, it's not actually the importer -- it's the sort order check that's causing it.

In 'SortByService' in script.js its checking for defaultOrder from window.localStorage and it's null. I'm entirely unfamiliar with the project so I'm not sure of the ramifications, but if I put an null check around the block like so:

    if (window.localStorage) {
        var defaultOrder = window.localStorage.getItem('contacts_default_order');
        if (defaultOrder) {
            sortBy = defaultOrder;
        }
    }

then the page loads properly. I'm not sure if that's the proper elegant fix, but it works for me.

[Henni]

@weslimitless which browser (and version) are you using?

[whathome]

Firefox 56.0.2, OSX

[memen45]

I am having the same issue with importing a .vcf file (vcf with single entry does work). The left panel keeps spinning and opening a new tab does not show any contacts being added.

Nextcloud server 12.03

[skjnldsv]

@memen45 what contact version? Please add your logs. :)

[memen45]

Contacts version 2.1.0 (just activated the day before yesterday)

There are no entries generated in the logging after trying the import (so,
admin settings, Logging tab) . Where can I find the logs that are
interesting for this problem?

Okay, this is the output from console (I am using Microsoft Edge):

Sorry for the dutch warning in the beginning, it says "Resource caused a conflict"

Edit: It is still spinning, but following line also appeared:

Shutting down notifications: [0] error merged.js (273,5)

[paraqles]

Hi,

I seem to have a similar problem. Not quite sure it it is the same cause.
I tested it with firefox, chrome and safari. All of them show the same error.
And there is no request to the server, seems it breaks on reading the vcf file.

The VCF file is exported on android 7.1.2 stock contacts app.

The Browser Console says:

@irgendwie didn't we had this bug fixed earlier on? :)

[pard68]

Don't have logs at the moment, I'm on my phone. I am getting a similar issue. I was able to get past the spinning by opening the vcf file and changing version number to 3.0.

It sort of works, gets past the spinning, but it took 30 minutes to upload a single contact and never imported more than the first contact. Might want to check the vcf version, Contacts won't upload any version 2.X vcf files.

I really don't know Angular at all, but according to this SO post you probably cannot nest scope.$apply().

Now I'm also wondering why a massive framework like Angular is used for such a simple app, but I guess that's not really relevant here...

[jeromelebleu]

I have also the same issue - same behavior and JavaScript error and trace from the console. I'm running the last version of the app (2.0.1) and using Firefox ESR 52.5.0.

As pointed by @jgillich, I tried to comment this line which resolves this loading freeze and also the error from the console.
However, in my case, it ending with another error - but this one is well caught and displayed by Nextcloud: Only vCard version 4.0 (RFC6350) or version 3.0 (RFC2426) are supported.. I'm wondering if it's could be related since someone else successfully imported its contacts using the same Nextcloud instance and application version. Only the file and maybe the browser were different.

[gubagu]

Same here
Contact import broken under latest Chrome, FF and Edge
Versions:
Nextcloud 12.0.3
Contacts 2.0.1
@jeromelebleu I doubt anyone could import contacts from vcf file.
Any development around this issue ?

[pinq-]

Same here...
I got 76 out of 92 importet in when I edit the vcf. I replace all the VERSION:2.1 wtih VERSION:3.0. It works, but you can't import contacts how have ä, ö or å on their name.

[skjnldsv]

@pinq- what error do you have in the console then?

https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/433

@gubagu it works fine on my install here, and many users too. There is still an issue apparently since you guys are having differents errors.

To people that still have the issue, could you all paste your console logs so we can list what singularities do you have? 🤗
Thanks 🍀

@skjnldsv When I try to import regular file( 2.1) then the waiting spinner starts to spin and I get these errors in console:
Error: [$rootScope:inprog] $apply already in progress
http://errors.angularjs.org/1.5.8/$rootScope/inprog?p0=%24apply

When I try to import modified file the I get these erros in tin the top of the screen "Could not create contact information."( in finnish). No errors in console.

Now, how I can remove double contacts? :D

[pard68]

Opened my .vcf file with VIM and did a find & replace all, changing all VERSION:2.1 to VERSION:3.0
Successfully updated all files.

If you're hanging at a certain percent I bet the uploader is hitting a contact that is version >3.0

[skjnldsv]

If you're hanging at a certain percent I bet the uploader is hitting a contact that is version >3.0

Then an error is supposed to be displayed. It should not hang.

[pard68]

Ah, I never had the error display. It would hang at whichever contact wasn't >=3.0. But after replacing all with 3.0 it ceases to hang. I never checked the console though, so if it only displays in the console that would be why I never saw an error.

[moso]

Changing the VERSION:2.1 to VERSION:3.0 does solve the hanging issue for me. However, contacts with photos doesn't get imported, and Nextcloud displays "Contact could not be created".

I don't know if this has to do with the fact that photos are stored as base64 and the Contacts app is unable to read those during the import?

[RonaldBarnes]

I also found changing VERSION:2.1 to VERSION:3.0 allowed contacts to finally import.

Except a bunch that didn't (without indication of which ones).

As moso stated, any contacts with photos ("ENCODING=BASE64") fail to import.

In a text editor, after removing the photo data, still had some contacts fail to import.

Any contact with some data that has "ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE" also fails to import, so it's worthwhile searching for that.

[skjnldsv]

We have indeed dropped support for <3.0 vcards, but it's supposed to show an error.
Int's also possible that some properties are not fully parsed and therefore could lead to issues. We're planning on movinf to a different vcard library that should fix those issues. Sorry for the inconvenience :)

[Tux12Fun]

Can see the same Problem here, try to import my Contacts. All VCards are 2.1 and have BASE64 Pictures.
Changing to Format 3.0 with a editor gives a

[laurent22]

Same problem here with Nextcloud 13.0.0 when importing a VCF file in Firefox 58.0.2

When I open the contact page it shows these errors and warnings (not sure if related):

Then when I import the file:

The page generally looks broken during the operation:

[GAS85]

Basically dropping support of versions <3 makes CardDav sync useless for e.g. my Samsung A5 2016.

[Tux12Fun]

Same Problem with Samsung Galaxy S2

[jleaders]

I have the same issue

[elman22]

Same issue here. Can't import VERSION:2.1. NC 13.0.1.1

[dimmie]

Thanks to pard68 and others,
who pointed out that replacing /VERSION:2.1/VERSION:3.0/ would work. It effectively worked for me - but for three cards with UTF-8 encodings like

N;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=4D=69=6E=61=6E=69;....

So I am happy after days of chasing for a solution to the issue, mine being a fresh nextcloud install.

I also have to question the decision of dropping support for vcf version 2.1, this last one being still widely in use in my world : Thunderbird and Android contacts. Please do not consider Contacts and Calender management as a corner case of nextcloud usage ...

And thanks for an otherwise quite useful product.

[mburnicki]

I'd also appreciate if VCF v2.1 support was not dropped.

[laurent22]

Probably VCF 2.1 support is simply broken, but not dropped since SabreDAV supports it.

[nd-]

Same problem as @laurent22, javascript error, unable to import contacts.
Tested on FF 60 and Chrome 66, same javascript errors in the console.

[kangaroo72]

I also confirm on latest FF & Chrome Browsers ...

[nd-]

I just edited my vcf files, find and replace "VERSION:2.1" with "VERSION:3.0", and it works now.

But now i have some carbook properties with "INTERNET=:" or "CELL=:"

I tried a mysql replace() in the oc_cards_properties table, but no luck, it seems these properties are stored in oc_cards, in the carddata BLOB.

In my vcf files, i have properties like "email;internet:[email protected]", is it an issue with 2.1/3.0 vcf format ?

[elman22]

Replacing header VERSION might work for some cases, but there are changes between 3.0 and 2.1 and parser does things slightly differently. Therefore you cannot expect to work this 100%. See for example https://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.fileformats.contact-vcard-build.intro.php

Proper 2.1 support would be welcomed.

[ja573]

Photos can be imported by being explicit about the media type and specifying encoding as "b":
replace PHOTO;ENCODING=BASE64;JPEG: with PHOTO;TYPE=JPEG;ENCODING=b: (the encoded picture remains the same)
