Import doesn't work on www.onenote.com

HectorB

Hello!
I faced to a problem with Microsoft OneNote - Import does not work in Vivaldi browser on Linux.

The URL is either
https://www.onenote.com/notebooks/exportimport?auth=1&toImport=true
or simply
https://www.onenote.com/notebooks/exportimport

In Vivaldi it produces a blank page, however HTML source inside is not empty, seems like it contains all the needed pieces.
It's worth to mention that this OneNote Import page works normally in Firefox and Yandex Browser.

I've tried several versions on Vivaldi including the latest available, the issue is reproduced in all.

Will it be possible to take a look and fix or suggest and workaround?

The expected normal behavior is to open standard system "Open File" dialog to choose a file on local computer.

Hence I thought that maybe these topics are related:

I'm looking now at DevTools console and see the following errors. I wonder if this can help:

Regarding error "ExportImport.min.js:15 Uncaught ReferenceError: Settings is not defined"

Excerpt from ExportImport.min.js.
See return Settings below:

 function(e, t, r) {
    "use strict";
    Object.defineProperty(t, "__esModule", {
        value: !0
    });
    var o = r(26)
      , n = function() {
        function e() {}
        return Object.defineProperty(e, "Settings", {
            get: function() {
                return Settings
            },
            enumerable: !0,
            configurable: !0
        }),
        e.checkSettingsForErrors = function() {
            for (var e in Settings) {
                var t = Settings[e];
                if (void 0 === t)
                    return o.ErrorUtils.ErrorState.SettingMissing;
                if ("string" == typeof t && !t.trim())
                    return o.ErrorUtils.ErrorState.SettingMissing
            }
            return Settings.notebookTooLarge ? o.ErrorUtils.ErrorState.TooLargeToExport : o.ErrorUtils.ErrorState.None
        }
        ,
        e
    }();
    t.SettingsManager = n
}

https://www.onenote.com/notebooks/exportimport - with this one I get the following error in both Vivaldi & MS Edge:

Something went wrong. Refresh this page, or try again later. If this error persists, report this issue.

However, when visiting https://www.onenote.com/notebooks/exportimport?auth=1&toImport=true the page was blank at first, but after refreshing, the import button appeared and seems to work fine. I'm seeing no errors in the console either. Perhaps it's a Linux issue only.

@pafflick, thanks for trying.

Something went wrong ... error persists, report this issue.

is a different issue. I observed it as well on other Outlook accounts. But now I face only the blank page. And regardless of how many times I hit F5 or Ctrl-R the page stays blank.

Now I'm on version '4.3.2439.65'. But it didn't work on versions 3.x either.
Is there anything you can suggest?

HectorB

Suddenly I found a temporary workaround. Looks like Vivaldi browser fails running parts of JavaScript on OneNote if language/region is set to other than en-US.

The following URL will show the desired Import button:
https://www.onenote.com/notebooks/exportimport?auth=1&toImport=true&omkt=en-US

@hectorb Interesting find. Perhaps the page didn't refresh correctly, you could try refreshing the whole content by pressing [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[F5]. If that doesn't help, try clearing the cache or use a private/guest window.

Although the page loaded in English for me at first, when I switched to my native language, the button was still there. I'm on Windows, but I don't think that the OS should play a role here.

HectorB

To my regret I did all this magic with clearing cache and hitting [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[F5]frantically. All in vain.
Well, at least &omkt=en-US helps.

@hectorb And what is the language that you tried with? Perhaps it's a bug on Microsoft's side with a particular language...
