[Bug]: Fresh import of backup file and new token for bank sync SimpleFin

[seannaesmb]

Verified issue does not already exist?

• I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Summary: Imported a backup of my budget into a fresh docker install within TrueNas. Cleared the SimpleFin token and entered in the New token created. Click Link accounts after token entry, button spins and prompts for me to enter in my token again.

I can confirm the token entered is not making a successful connection to SimpleFIn to change status to "Claimed". I have tested locally using SimpleFIn Developer and verified the token does work. I did attempt to unlink all accounts to see if re-link prompt would display with no luck

1. Initial thoughts are the token is still set to the prior token and as that's been "removed" it isn't changing the token to the new entered value

{
    "status": "ok",
    "data": {
        "error_type": "INVALID_ACCESS_TOKEN",
        "error_code": "INVALID_ACCESS_TOKEN",
        "status": "rejected",
        "reason": "Invalid SimpleFIN access token.  Reset the token and re-link any broken accounts."
    }
}

How can we reproduce the issue?

How can we reproduce the issue?

1. Docker installation
2. Import a backup file with a known token to have been removed from SimpleFin
3. Clear the token and enter in a newly created token
4. Spinning and re-prompt for token with below showing in Developer Tools

{
    "status": "ok",
    "data": {
        "error_type": "INVALID_ACCESS_TOKEN",
        "error_code": "INVALID_ACCESS_TOKEN",
        "status": "rejected",
        "reason": "Invalid SimpleFIN access token.  Reset the token and re-link any broken accounts."
    }
}

Within pika pod, I have created a new token. After I enter nothing would sync with "SimpleFin Bad Token" BUT would show the account to link or remove link.

Within pika pod, I removed a link and re-added. Sync looked to function for all accounts BUT still through a "Internal error". Version 25 still currently.

Confirming this issue after upgrade to 25.3.1 (fresh import, removed link to simplefin and tried creating new connection with new token).

The error I am getting is:
Error: Invalid SimpleFIN access token. Reset the token and re-link any broken accounts.
f CreateAccountModal.tsx:76
w usePress.mjs:133
No useEffectEvent.mjs:26
N usePress.mjs:318
t useGlobalListeners.mjs:28
onPointerDown usePress.mjs:277
React 11 ....

I tried the same token with simplefin-transactions.py script and that worked (script can be found here https://gist.github.com/psybers/60e7332f93dc59f3ac5f636827921e17).

Few other things that I tried was:

1. Remove data dir and try re-importing saved file - same issue
2. Remove data dir, sign-out, delete all files (local and remote) and then start fresh - same issue. It does not accept SimpleFin token.

Don't re use the token. Create a new token. Try after entering to unlink and re link one account. Then bank re sync

I did. I created new token (fresh, unused by any other application), but for some reason ActualBudget is telling me that token is invalid.

I also tried going to previous working version and that did not help (same error).
Then I deleted all data, and tried on fresh instance. That worked.

After that I re-imported my old data and now everything works.
