Re: [GNC] Configurable Year Start Day/Month

[john]

Flywire,

Have you looked at https://code.gnucash.org/docs/MASTER/group__Options.html?

I guess by "set and use" you mean add a date option to your report. The basic 
function is documented at 
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/MASTER/group__Options.html#gae207538b13cb19bb68f9b9300743b709
 and it has an overloaded version 
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/MASTER/group__Options.html#ga5dafb8587af06977a7ee03b73b852a68
 that takes a std::vector of the RelativeDatePeriods to include. That's used by 
 gnc-register-start-date-option 
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/MASTER/group__Options.html#ga4a03e7ac556ea7774046121555df9f51,
 and gnc-register-end-date-option 
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/MASTER/group__Options.html#gaf48579ed1d96c1e7b9fbdc16b589995a
 to generate pre-filtered  controls with the obvious relative date offerings. 
There's also  gnc::options-make-date-interval that quickly adds one of each. 
Most reports use either gnc-register-end-date-option to set the date for a 
single-date report like a Balance Sheet or gnc:options-make-date-interval for 
reports like an Income Statement that cover a period.

Changing the way options work isn't supported, nor has it ever been. If you 
change the way an existing option works you'll break some built-in report. That 
might not matter to you because you'll be able to run your custom report. 
That's fine, it's what Free software is all about, but you own the change and 
its consequences, and you can't expect that your changes will apply cleanly 
after the next commit never mind the next release, as you've just discovered.

Even with the 4.x and earlier option system you couldn't create new option 
classes entirely in Scheme. The old option system was a horrid mix of Scheme 
and C because it had to support both report options and book options, plus the 
UI part was always pure C that had to use the Guile C API to get option values. 
I don' t think you're really interested in adding an option class so I'll spare 
you the details of what you'd need to write in C++ to do it.

Yes, you can turn on Github actions in your fork and it will run the CI for you 
just like it does in the GnuCash mirror, see 
https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/enabling-features-for-your-repository/managing-github-actions-settings-for-a-repository.
 But we don't have a Windows CI action, the nightly builds are done with the 
https://github.com/gnucash/GnuCash-on-windows powershell scripts on a Windows 
VM in Derek's basement. 

Adding new RelativeDatePeriods for 2 years ago is fairly straightforward, just 
add the two values to the enum and the logic to gnc_relative_date_to_time64() 
and set up the various strings and the swig conversions in 
bindings/guile/gnc-options.i.

Adding actual Fiscal Year support is another matter entirely. It's been 
discussed on and off for 20 years, but it requires substantial changes 
throughout GnuCash and so far nobody has wanted to invest the effort.

Regards,
John Ralls

[GNC] Pack with Python bindings on macOS?

[monson]

Hi there,

The pure python client `piecash` seems obsoleted and no longer worked with
latest sqlalchemy and gnucash, so I'm trying to switch to original python
bindings. Since they aren't shipped in the pre-built bundle, I tried to
build those bindings but it seems have to build the whole gnucash and
doesn't work well.
On Linux (e.g. archlinux) those python bindings are shipped with
the gnucash package. May I ask if we can do the same on macOS? Thanks.

Regards,
monson

Well I suppose if you are a techno-person with 60 or more different tech
sites, that would make sense.
But I don't suppose that most users of Gnucash are, and are likely
Accountants, Book-keepers, SME owners, sole-traders and people doing their
home accounts.
I dare say what goes on under the bonnet is likely of little interest to
such, just so long as the software works.
An excellent example of support forum for users that springs to mind is that
of the the Affinity Design software group, that can get pretty technical and
is easy enough to follow.

Re: [GNC] Configurable Year Start Day/Month

[flywire]

John,

Seems like an X-Y response. The meaning of a hack is clear, although this
is more of a tweak, and where it occurs hardly matters if it's not part of
a PR. A response in terms of using existing report/module code in a new
report would be fine.
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/5.0/gnucash/report/reports/example/sample-report.scm#L64-L77
demonstrates creating a list of options, so it follows, changing it changes
the options. I'll take it consult the list is used to mean seek advice or
information, and understand some code in the repo is depreciated. None of
this is core to the question.

To elaborate:

   1. I'm seeking guidance on the processes involved in setting and using
   the date option, and how to change it. There seems to be more to the
   changed approach in V5
   https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/tree/5.0/libgnucash/engine than
   covered in the documentation. Apologies in advance if terms are used
   incorrectly.
   2. I imagine there are two approaches:
  1. Override the value of year in scheme so it starts 1 July in
  the previous year. I understand the options and lists are defined in C++
  but I'm only focused on scheme reports. Are these option values in scheme
  mutable or can they easily be changed to mutable? Existing textual
  descriptions of the options are fine. Can start/end year just be
registered
  again in a scheme report with a new definition or redefined in
scheme using
  the date-utilities.scm process in V4?
  2. Redefine option values in C++. This is more problematic for me
  because I haven't been able to compile GnuCash in Windows. Nevertheless,
  every commit goes through a recompile as part of a CI process.
Would it be
  feasible, and if so how, to use that process in a private fork and grab a
  windows executable from it to use on my PC? I expect I could work my way
  through the C++ code and change value definitions and lists.
   3. I'd actually like to add a new date symbol for start/end of 2 years
   prior period.

Your response previously linked from 2021 shows you have considered it.
Maybe you have a better approach in mind, possibly something this year. It
could be relevant.

Re: [GNC] Invoice layout changed upon upgrade from 4.13 to 4.14

[John W. O'Brien via gnucash-user]

Hi Adrien,

Re: mailing list -- Thank you for clarifying the attachment situation. 
In the future, I would find it most convenient if you CC me in your 
response (see also: Reply-To), because I am most likely to notice direct 
responses in a timely manner compared to bulk mailing list messages.


Re: my question --

Exactly. You have immediately grasped the essence of my inquiry.


I am glad to hear about the new capabilities in 5.0. I am not planning 
to upgrade to 5.x immediately, so I look forward to enjoying them.

As to your question, are you saying:

You have saved report configurations that now don't display properly 
because of this change?


I would think saved configurations should not change in such a 
circumstance, so perhaps this is an additional bug.


*note, in 5.0, you can now set a Saved Configuration as the default for 
all invoices.

Hello GnuCash users,

I routinely print invoices to PDF. To help ensure quality and 
consistency in the output, I have tuned both the "default" style sheet 
and the report layout I use to generate these invoices. On multiple 
(low single digits) macOS machines (Monterey 12.6.5, mix of Intel and 
Apple Silicon), I sync the GnuCash data and config via an ownCloud 
instance.


A side-effect of installing the upgrade from 4.13 to 4.14 was that the 
report "Options->Layout->Row 1 Left" setting changed from "Company 
name, address and tax ID" [0] to "Empty space" [1]. I suspect this 
change is a consequence of:


 Bug 798717
 Reports > Business > Fancy Invoice duplicates company details

My concern and uncertainty is about whether this bug fix should have 
affected a configuration derived from canned report specifically to 
affix the layout, where the derived configuration is no longer clearly 
tied to the original, canned report. I would not expect that 
installing a minor update would result in a change this substantial. 
Am I missing something, should I be reporting this as a regression 
against 798717, does this seem like a new bug, or something else?


Thank you,
John

PS: I wasn't sure if the mailing list would accept PNG attachments, 
which is why I posted them separately.

Re: [GNC] Patch release forthcoming?

[john]

If I did that after an n.0 release then I'd spend more time building releases 
than fixing bugs.
The usual schedule between releases is 3 months, but because n.0 releases tend 
to have a lot
of new code and we don't get much beta testing I schedule an n.1 release 1 
month after the n.0
one to deal with the worst early bugs.

Re: [GNC] Price Quote IEXCloud

Does the free API service still have that horrendous delay if you are

Doing 12 quotes takes over 2 minutes with API, and about 10 seconds witH

Re: [GNC] CSV import crash in 5.0+

[R Losey]

Also speaking as a pro, this topic of error checking causes quite a lot of
debate at work.

We all agree that input from users (and other untrusted sources) should be
fully error-checked (and, for this case of CSV import data, I agree it
should be considered untrusted).

But when there is an agreed-upon machine interface from A to B, if A
violates the interface and crashes B, that is A's problem [this is my
position, and many support it; however, the other position is that B should
not crash and should always do sufficient checking so that it does not
crash]. Likewise, calls to system services are considered trustworthy, so
the results are not error-checked... (the status may be checked for a
problem, but the data is generally considered safe; for example, I don't
know of anyone who error-checks the call to get the current time.)

Re: [GNC] Patch release forthcoming?

[R Losey]

Being a software developer myself, I understand the need to take time to
get it right... at the same time, when there were crashes, it seems like an
interim patch release was often done rapidly.

But I can wait.

Re: [GNC] Pack with Python bindings on macOS?

Unfortunately there's no good way to do that. The Python bindings need to be 
linked with libpython3 and Apple only provides one in recent versions of 
Xcode--Xcode itself, mind, not the SDK--with a decidedly quirky framework 
layout. Supporting that across 5 versions of macOS isn't practical. Worse, 
since it's not in the SDK it can't be linked from another bundle: Apple's 
notarization doesn't allow linking anything outside the bundle that's not in 
either /usr/lib or /System/Library/Frameworks. With that latter rule the only 
way to include the python bindings in GnuCash app is to include a full build of 
Python in the bundle and you'd have to use the Python executable in the bundle 
with the scripts. That's a lot of extra baggage for the few users who want it.

If building GnuCash with gtk-osx is too hard consider MacPorts instead. 
Homebrew just "bottles" GnuCash.app so it's not an alternative.

Regards,
John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Price Quote IEXCloud

[Fross, Michael]

Thanks Murugan.   I never looked at the "Unknown" area in the
security editor.  I also use this on my command line quote program Quoter
.  However, while it works great for my
US stocks, it doesn't seem to pull my mutual funds (i.e. FGILX).

I am glad YahooJSON appears to be working again, although who knows for how
long.

You've been really helpful - thank you.

Re: [GNC] Price Quote IEXCloud

[Murugan Muruganandam]

michael

just got a free api key and tried the IEXCloud and it work perfectly no need to 
change any code
enable get online quote ->select quote source as unknown -> choose iexcloud 
from drop down

There is already a unit available with file name IEXCloud.pm, i suggest you 
review the code and make it work and not rewrite the whole. you have to put in 
your IEXCLOUD_API_KEY in the environment variable just incase.
