'Upload data as CSV' action failing

I’ve used this many times in the past to process thousands of lines (since the limit described in this action is 10k), but when trying today with 1000 lines, I get the error:

Sorry, we ran into a temporary bug and can’t complete your request. We’ll fix it as soon as we can; please try again in a bit!

I tried reducing the number of lines to 100, then to 10, and I still get the same error.

Is anyone else facing the same issue?

Does this have anything to do with yesterday’s incident?

Yeah, you’re not the only one, I’m seeing the same thing on a couple of apps. Even small batches are throwing that temporary bug error. It started for me after yesterday’s incident too, so it’s probably related.

For now, the only workaround that’s been somewhat reliable is splitting the processing into smaller chunks using a recursive backend workflow, but even that isn’t perfect today.

Hopefully Bubble patches this soon. If you find a fix before then, definitely share!

Adding to what connect10 mentioned, here are some additional things you can try while waiting for Bubble to resolve this:

If you need to get data uploaded urgently, you could try using the Bubble API instead of the CSV upload action. You can write a simple script outside Bubble that reads your CSV and makes API calls to create records one at a time or in small batches. It is slower but more reliable when the native CSV action is having issues.

Another option is to check the Bubble status page at status.bubble.io to see if there are any ongoing issues being tracked. Sometimes they post updates there before the forum gets updated.

If this is blocking critical work, you might also want to submit a bug report directly through the Bubble editor (the question mark icon in the bottom right corner). Bug reports submitted that way tend to get prioritized, especially if you can include a reproducible example.

In the meantime, I would avoid running the CSV upload repeatedly as it might just queue up failed jobs. Wait a bit between attempts and try during off-peak hours if possible.

@Lumyna @connect10 I’ve heard from other users as well about issues with the CSV uploader.
Please submit bug reports with our support page, and I will be flagging this internally as well.

Any news about this @fede.bubble ?

I still can’t upload a single line using CSV.
