2.1.0-alpha.2 sync report bug

1

I noticed multiple instances of multi-line errors showing up in the sync report csv. That is really not permissible in CSV files. The error should be condensced and on one line

Thanks for the report!

As I was building the sync report, I found a couple surprising things:

I initially used a naive internal implementation (just double-quoting all fields), and then realized there were many other special cases, so I switched to papaparse.

According to the CSV RFC:

  • Fields containing a line-break, double-quote or commas should be quoted. (If they are not, the file will likely be impossible to process correctly.)
  • If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote in a field must be represented by two double-quote characters.

I was able to import the above CSV correctly with both LibreOffice and Google Sheets, so papaparse seems to be doing the right thing.
