Guys hi
First of all i want to thank Martin for superb work! I have been using
beancount for 2 years and flexibility / functionality beancount provides
are simply amazing. I always recommend beancount on plain text accounting
sub and now have 1 extra reason to suggest it :)
Secondly i have several questions / issues with installation and will
appreciate your help:
1. should i use "v2 master + beangrow repo" OR "beancount 2.3.3" ?
2. when i run configure.py, it generates empty file, what can be the reason
for this?
i run:
"python scripts/configure.py -v b.beancount > conf-returns"
screen output:
INFO : Reading ledger: b.beancount
INFO : Inferring configuration.
INFO : Done.
but file is empty
My accounts structure seems fine:
Assets:Business:...
Assets:Cash
Assets:Investing:CSchwab:Cash USD
Income:Investing:CSchwab:Interest USD
Income:Investing:CSchwab:Gains USD
Income:Investing:CSchwab:MiscCredits USD
Expenses:Investing:CSchwab:Fees USD
Assets:Investing:CSchwab:RDFN RDFN
Assets:Investing:CSchwab:SQ SQ
...
Assets:Personal:...
(i never received dividends so don't have accounts for them yet)
3. Do i understand it right that the only change we need to do in main
beancount file is add signature handlers?
Basically
2019-09-03 * "Buy; REDFIN CORP 00500"
Assets:Investing:CSchwab:RDFN 326 RDFN {15.55 USD,
2019-09-03}
Expenses:Investing:CSchwab:Fees 4.95 USD
Assets:Investing:CSchwab:Cash -5074.25 USD
will become
2019-09-03 * "Buy; REDFIN CORP 00500"
Assets:Investing:CSchwab:RDFN 326 RDFN {15.55 USD,
2019-09-03}
flow: ASSET
Expenses:Investing:CSchwab:Fees 4.95 USD
flow: EXPENSES
Assets:Investing:CSchwab:Cash -5074.25 USD
flow: CASH
4. I tried creating simple config file myself
investments {
# Accounts at Schwab.
investment {
currency: "RDFN"
asset_account: "Assets:Investing:CSchwab:RDFN"
cash_accounts: "Assets:Investing:CSchwab:Cash"
}
investment {
currency: "SQ"
asset_account: "Assets:Investing:CSchwab:SQ"
cash_accounts: "Assets:Investing:CSchwab:Cash"
}
}
groups {
group {
name: "stocks"
investment: "Assets:Investing:CSchwab:RDFN"
investment: "Assets:Investing:CSchwab:SQ"
}
group {
name: "all"
investment: "Assets:Investing:*"
currency: "USD"
}
}
but it resulted in error:
(using beancount master and beangrow repo)

5. Could someone please share sample beancount and returns config files?
