Error when Importing from Bika file

Feature requests

It was normal to export my database to a Bika file:

chrome_VAOW0a8XuY785×621 55.1 KB

But I faced this error when importing it back. Please investigate and fix the issue.
This is the bika file link: LX MẪU.bika - pCloud

Hi @bika.ai, apologies for the delayed response due to the Lunar New Year holiday.

Regarding the import error:

  1. File Link Issue: We tried to check the file you provided (LX MẪU.bika - pCloud), but the link shows as “expired or invalid,” so we couldn’t download it to investigate further.
  2. The “và” Character: The error message specifically mentions an unexpected identifier “và” (a Vietnamese word). Could you check if your data contains this character?
  3. Suggested Test: Please try removing the word “và” from your database, then perform the export and import again to see if it succeeds.

If the issue persists, could you please provide a new, working link to the file? This will help us pinpoint the encoding issue. Thanks for your patience!

Yes. Access the file form this link again:

https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZsqs3ZR8dIQc5TIBzAmWYIDSxvPRH9S25k

I know that error happening because of the word “và” and want you can fix it somehow.

I can remove the word and it works properly. But really need a permanent fix.

@bika.ai Thank you for the updated link! I can confirm that the link is working perfectly now, and we have successfully accessed the file.

Also, thank you for confirming that the word “và” is the specific trigger for this error. This insight is incredibly helpful for our investigation. I have already shared the file and your findings with our technical team for a deep dive.

While I cannot guarantee a fix at this stage until we identify the root cause, please rest assured that we will do our best to find a permanent solution for you. I’ll keep you posted as soon as I have any updates from the team.
