SUMMARY Deleted several unused payee names and had merged a few others as well. Saved and closed file. Upon attempting to reopen later, received Error dialog stating "Unknown account id 'A000042' in file /build/kmymoney-8Tb1zm/kmymoney-5.0.1/kmymoney/mymoney/storage/mymoneyseqaccessmgr.cpp line 206". Closes kmymoney after acknowledging error. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Deleted/merged multiple payees 2. Saved file 3. Upon reopening, GUI crashed OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Kubuntu 18.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0 Qt Version: 5.9.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Logged out, logged back in, rebooted, then reinstalled kmymoney before determining error only occurred in file in which I had modified payees.
In case you still have a copy of the file containing the payees make sure to keep it for further investigation. Using a newer version (we are at 5.0.7 in the meantime) might not solve the problem as it is related to your data.
I fixed the data file manually by opening the file with Kate to view the xml. Located the 'A000042' entry, which was in the scheduled transactions section, second split part. Based on the transaction I knew which account I needed it to actually reference. So I located the correct account id (A000258) in the file and replaced the 'A000042' with that id. Saved and reopened with Kmymoney with no further issues. How that account id got changed would be the bug.
I agree, but it is kind of hard to do that now. So I close the bug.
