pal4life commentedHi,
I am facing a similar issue, in my case no feeds are imported et all. I am trying to import a csv in to a content type.

asb commentedSimilar issue; I'm trying to import a very simple CSV file with "File upload", "CSV parser" and "Node processor", without any success. Because some CCK field types like date often cause trouble when trying to bulk import something, I'm limiting my import mappings to simpler field types like "text". However, I'm still not getting any results.
When I go to the "Import" page, the importer shows up; I can upload a CSV file and click on "Import", thats all - no new nodes are being created, no status message shows up, and nothing is logged through Drupal's watchdog.
I'm updating the issue to the currently recommended version 6.x-1.0-beta11 that I'm using on my site; also I'm changing the category back to "bug report"; even if it is absolutely possible that my configuration is somehow borked, I'd consider it as a (actuall quite major) bug if "Feeds" doesn't give any feedback at all, neither in the UI, nor in the log files.
I'm using 'Feeds' on the same site with a different configuration to process RSS feeds; this works for years without any problems, so basically the module works fine. It just seems to refuse to process CSV files.
Attaching an export of my importer definition, and the CSV file I'm trying to import.
Thanks for any suggestions!

asb commentedI wasted several hours to get this working, and the node importer still does not even create a node if only one (!) text field is mapped from a CSV file with exactly one line. So it's simply not working at all, not even with the core components, and without any patches. Also still no error message or anything that might help with debugging.
Changing priority again as this functionality is an essential component of the 'Feeds' module, and the handbook pages don't even give a hint what might be the problem.
Comment #7
asb commentedAfter several more hours, I got CSV imports (at least partially) working. Actually logging seems to be the problem as there are numerous conditions where an import fails, e.g. required fields or unsupported data types (double check which data types are supposed to be supported, and triple check the issue queue about the actual scope of this support. Also the "Import on create" setting in the importer's "Basic settings"; anything but "Import on submission" seems not to work for CSV imports.
Changing this issue into a feature request: Please make logging a lot more verbose; the mentioned conditions should imho show up somewhere, either in the UI, or in Drupal's watchdog log.
