How long to wait for Goodreads import?

Hi - I’m trying to import a subset of my Goodreads export into a bookshelf. It’s only about 35 books I’m testing with.

I’ve tried uploading a section of the CSV that Goodreads exports directly, as well as one with the columns renamed slightly to match with the suggestion in this post.

In both cases I manually added any missing ISBN13 entries to the CSV before uploading to help with the matching.

However, whilst no errors are shown in the logs, it seems like nothing has happened even after 30 minutes. I can’t see the books on any shelf.

Both times the logs showed:
Goodreads: Got uploaded file
Goodreads: Importing…

But nothing seemingly of relevance after that point. Nothing is shown in the errors section.

Should the logs show when the import is complete does anyone know? Or is it expected that “Importing…” is the last step and I just need to wait longer? (and hope I didn’t create duplicates by attempting twice!).

Thanks!

The log should show a lot more, new lines in the log for every book imported. So something is definitely broken. Do you mind posting your CSV file or just emailing it to me at help@micro.blog? I have a feeling that something is unexpected in the format and the error isn’t being reported.

Thanks so much @manton - yep, nothing showed up in the logs that I can see so I’ve emailed the files to that email address as you suggested.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated!
