Shopware 5: Error during import: No categories were found

At my trial via Shopware backend > Contents> Import>

my_ANSI_categories_minimal.csv

default_categories_minimal (categories minimal)

and click on "import start" to import 11 catechisms

I got the message: "Error importing No categories were found"

My my_ANSI_categories_minimal.csv looks like:

categoryId, parentID, name 21.7, Irish

7 in found in phpmyadmin (SELECT * FROM s_articles_categories_ro) the 21 is new / blank.

Shopware reports I should not use default import / export (* 1 no longer use the old default import / export ...).

How should I proceed then? Is there a nother import / export modul? And why is this "import / export" Modul offered via the backend GUI?

BTW i use: Shopware 5.4.6 (Rev. 201807181357)

Solution

  • Since shopware 5.3 the "advanced" module is part of shopware core. So you are alreay using the advanced module. The delimiter needs to be a semicolon (;) with a comma (,) it won't work at all. It is also needed that every parent category is created before its childs.

    I created a test.csv with the following contents:

    categoryId;parentID;name 21;7;test

    This works fine in my tests. You can find the categories in the table s_categories .
