Thanks to both of you for your responses! The security in question is a derivative peculiar to Julius Baer (a virtual investment tracking the performance of an internally managed fund). For the time being I will just enter the quote from the website into GnuCash manually from time to time, until I have time to try writing a scraper. On another note, while playing around with this, I noticed that F::Q is throwing an error: >> Found Finance::Quote version 1.71. * 11:28:45 ERROR <gnc.price-quotes> [parse_quotesource_error()] Unrecognized Finance::Quote Error Can't call method "as_text" on an undefined value at /app/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.42.0/Finance/Quote/BVB.pm line 109. Price retrieval failed: Unrecognized Finance::Quote Error: Can't call method "as_text" on an undefined value at /app/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.42.0/Finance/Quote/BVB.pm line 109. << I am unaware of any attempt on my part to retrieve quotes from the Bucharest Stock Exchange, so it is a mystery to me why this is even being called. Any ideas what might be triggering this? I tried to fix it by replacing the contents of /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/current/active/files/lib/perl 5/site_perl/5.42.0/Finance/Quote/BVB.pm with the raw code from https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/blob/master/lib/Finance/Quote/BVB.pm (presumably from F::Q v1.72). This has worked for me before to correct problems fixed in the newest F::Q that hadn't yet been ported to flatpak. In this case, however, the error remains unchanged. Is this a persistent bug in F::Q, or do I need to perform a more thorough replacement of 1.71 with 1.72 in my flatpak installation? Thanks to all of you for your support and continued development of both GC and F::Q! _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
