Silent fail when spaces are present in tags list —

[slam-campup]

I imported a csv with 131 rows. The issues field had spaces in them, e.g. "Engagement, Plugin, slam"

github-csv-tools ran as expected listing "Imported issue:" for each row present.
Output ended with Created 131 issues, and had 0 failures.

However, 0 issues were present in the Github Issues for that repo.

I edited the file to remove all spaces between items and to remove any empty items e.g. ,,.
Re-ran import in verbose mode.
github-csv-tools ran as expected listing "Imported issue:" for each row present.
Created 131 issues, and had 0 failures.

However, there are only 110 items in the Issue. Some issues silent failed and I don't know why.

Please provide a replication case.

I also faced this issue, and was disappointed that the issue was closed, as I felt the question outlined the problem well.

Here is an example csv of the first problem:

"title","labels","body"
"SAM-104 Document current technical state of project","jira-import,jira-import-230123,task,","Body content"

Notice how there is an empty label, a trailing comma.

Here is an example csv of the second problem:

"title","labels","body"
"SAM-56 Build athena image in balenaCloud builder","jira-import,jira-import-230123,task,Setup CI/CD, Deployment, and Automated testing","Body content"

Notice how there are spaces after the commas preceding some of the labels.

Label syntax issues aside, I think the most obvious issue is that github-csv-tools is silently failing and telling the user that it successfully imported an issue when it in fact did no such thing. At the very least, I would expect better error reporting so I am aware that the import failed (ideally, it could detect these syntax issues before it even starts the import and fail early).

Thanks for the clarification. I would accept a PR that fixes the "Spaces before labels" issue.
