ERPNext v5 fails to create a new company

ERPNext
#1

I go to:
Setup/Accounts/Chart of Accounts/Menu/New Company
I get the following error:

So there must be something wrong with my chart of accounts file.
Because when I remove the file everything is OK.
Any suggestions how to debug this?
I have used the account_type from the standard_chart_of_accounts.py file.
Is that maybe wrong?

#2

A comma (,) missing before “Rekstrargjöld”.

#3

Thanks for pointing to the missing comma.
I have corrected the comma and updated the code above, but I still get the error:

“ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded”

So there must be something more than the , wrong with my chart of accounts, right?

I have also printed the whole thing out and carefully gone over brackets and every line.

But I am probably overlooking something.

Do you have any other suggestion how this might be tackled?

#4

Can you provide the full traceback?

Also try to debug using json.loads() from console.

#5

I am not that deeply into Python or the frappe framework.
More of a newbie.
Could you please give me a little more on how to generate a full traceback?

Also could you please give me steps or a reference to where I can learn more how to debug using json.loads() from console?

My initial goal was to install ERPNext, translate to Icelandic, setup charts of accounts and setup ERPNext for 2 companies. I maybe little over my head already, I think.

But any suggestion to achieve the initial goal would be appreciated.

#6

I could not found any issue with the charts you provided, I just replace all spaces with tabs.

I have created a github gist for the chart (https://gist.github.com/nabinhait/3e86a032d1ba78e6e17a). Please copy the RAW content and also try the using same file name.
If you successful to create company with the charts, please send a Pull Request.

Note: I can include the chart directly into the erpnext, but if you send the PR, you contribution will be registered. Thanks for your hard work.

#7

Thanks for your input and help.
It allowed me to finally figure this out.
I have tested it and the Wizard correctly imports it.
I have sent a PR with updated is translations and the is_chart_of_accounts.json.

On other issues:
1)
How do I get Icelandic listed here?
https://frappe.io/translator
Or maybe that is not important?

I have been trying to remove a site by:
drop database site1.local
delete site1.local in directory sites

Then creating it again.
bench new-site site1.local (I always get an error when trying to recreate the site)

What else needs to be done for me to be able create a site again?

How do I remove user frappe or is that not necessary?

#8

1, We will add Icelandic in the next overhaul of the translator project (soon after v5 is released)

  1. use bench frappe [sitename] --reinstall
#9

Thank you very much.
I am going to try this out: use bench frappe [sitename] --reinstall

Thanks for your suppport
