Import configurable product => product name empty

[stathis88k]

Preconditions

Magento 2.2.3

Steps to reproduce

1. Import variants csv
2. Import products csv

Expected result

Configurable products are created and associated with the simple products that have configurable product as parent and have all their attributes set (name, price)

Actual result

The name of the configurable product is always empty.
No products are linked to the configurable product (because of required field name?).

Explanation

I tried to add the variants and the products as specified by the documentation.
The configurable products are added to the variants table.
The simple products are imported correctly with all of their info.
But the configurable product name remains empty and there are no products linked to it (the products that have the configurable product as parent). There was a problem also with the price of the configurable product but after mapping the column in configuration this one worked.
Tried also with the dummy data provided here on the repo and I get the same result.
The configuration I have on admin is:
Attribute mapping Pim Magento
custom_name_column name
price-EUR price

Configurable Attribute Value
custom_name_column
price-EUR

Hi @stathis88k
With the file provided in the Pimgento module, you have to enable Pimgento_VariantFamily and import its file after importing variants.
If you are using Akeneo2, you also have to do that in order to have your simple products linked to their parents.
Can you try this and tell me if it works for you ?

I think you should leave the value colomn empty (in the configurable product mapping) and only enter the colomn name that you specified in your CSV. I also had the same problem and found the solution here: #165
