[Bug]: TypeConflictException when running occ user:import #1024
Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
When exporting and importing an user with the user_migration app, the import fails due to a TypeConflictException. This is unexpected as nothing changed between the export and the import and everything happens on the same instance (using https://github.com/juliusknorr/nextcloud-docker-dev).
Steps to reproduce
- Run
docker compose up -d nextcloudafter setting up the nextcloud-docker-dev environment - Install the
user_migrationapp from the store or viaocc - Export the data of a user with
sudo -E -u www-data php occ user:export admin(for example) - Try to import the generated zip file with
sudo -E -u www-data php occ user:import --user admin {zipFilename}
Expected behavior
The import should run without throwing an exception.
