MT940 import does not work

[Willem Voogd]

After upgrading to 20.04.1 LTS the MT940 import fails to open the import dialog. It fails silently.

- Ubuntu 20.04.1
- GnuCash 1:3.8b-1ubuntu1

File->Import->MT940
- Dialog opens
- I can select a downloaded .940 file

Expected behaviour: Import Matcher window opens

Experienced behaviour: File dialog just closes

I tried to run with --extra CLI option for extra info, but it fails silently.

Thanks in advance for your efforts.

Cheers,

I found out that I should look in the gnu.trace file, there these lines are logged:

* 12:41:37 ERROR <aqbanking> swift.c: 524: Too many bytes in line, maybe not SWIFT
* 12:41:37 ERROR <aqbanking> swift.c: 111: Error importing data (-1)
* 12:41:37 WARN <gnc.import.aqbanking> gnc_file_aqbanking_import: Error on import

I tried this with a .940 file that did get imported in an earlier version.
