Re: [GNC] v3.8 AQBanking in the US
All - the development you're talking about is beyond me, but I'm happy to help with testing or anything else that needs an extra set of hands. A couple of things. - I assume you're in touch with Martin Preuss already, but if not, the README for aqbanking 6 points out a list of changes that consuming applications must consider. It's at https://github.com/aqbanking/aqbanking/blob/master/README. See section 11. - The non-editable user problem that John Ralls noted seems to be because the backend type gets set to HBCI even when you set it to ofxconnect. This can be fixed by modifying aqbanking\settings6\users\.conf (change backendName to aqofxconnect). - At least for my bank (USAA) account retrieval only works if there is at least one "dummy" account in the list of online accounts. - I have user setup, account retrieval, and balance retrieval working. Transactions are retrieved and visible in the OFX log but don't show up in the GC transaction matcher. If there is a piece of GC code that returns a single transaction with date=0, amount=0 and description="Unspecified" when a crawl through the retrieved transactions returns nothing, that's a good place to start. All best and let me know how I can help!

Re: [GNC] v3.8 AQBanking in the US
No. OFX Direct Connect is a way of connecting GnuCash directly to the bank and retrieving the account, balance, and transaction data directly into GnuCash. In addition to a working AQBanking it requires that your bank provide the service and that it reveals enough information that you can configure AQBanking to connect to it.

Re: [GNC] v3.8: Budget "total" field
Switching users isn't onerous as long as you use simple passwords--you do have to type it every time you switch--and it's easy to create a folder in your main user's $HOME to collect stuff: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/control-access-to-your-public-folder-on-mac-mchlp1775/mac. If that's still too much trouble you can set GNC_DATA_DIR and GNC_CONFIG_DIR in the non-production bundle's Contents/Resources/etc/gnucash/environment to point somewhere other than ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash. Preferences go to ~/Library/Preferences/org.gnucash.Gnucash no matter what, but that's probably not a concern in most cases.

Re: [GNC] v3.8: Budget "total" field
I haven’t yet delved into my 2020 budget, but certainly, the lack of an overall total should be restored as it is critical to the budgeting process. I consider this a regression of sorts.

[GNC] v3.8: Budget "total" field
In the most recent release this change was made: [gnc-budget-view.c] totals - 5 fundamental types previous showed income/expense/transfers/totals budget totals, of uncertain meaning. now shows income/expense/asset/liability/equity budget totals. The 5 lines also become sensitive to the global sign-reverse property. That change removed the "total" row from budgets making it very hard to ensure that budgets are balanced or that there are no unallocated funds. Example of the old behavior: Income: 100 Expenses: 30 Liabilities: 20 Assets: 10 Total: 40 Using that total row I could tell there were 40 units that needed allocated somewhere. How can I accomplish this given the recent changes? If I make a change and accidentally allocate 1000 to Assets in the new version it just updates the assets total row and doesn't otherwise indicate the budget is out of balance.

Re: [GNC] v3.8 AQBanking in the US
OFX seems to be a broken in AQBanking 6, which as I explained earlier I provided in the Windows and Mac bundles to support the recent changes in Germany's FinTS system. Here's what my testing found: * OFX users and accounts aren't migrated to the new ~/.aqbanking/settings6 directory so the AQBanking Setup Wizard is initially unpopulated. * Trying to migrate the files oneself doesn't work very well, one must set them up by hand. ∑* One can create users but not edit them. * The Fetch Accounts button in the create user assistant works. The select user drop down in the edit account dialog does not, so if you don't fetch the accounts from the bank when you set up the user then you must edit the configuration files by hand. * The debug logging messages from Gwenhywfar aren't very helpful. * The associations made in the Online Banking Setup Assistant don't show in the assistant but they are made, so that the menu items in Actions>Online Actions are enabled for the account. However, the select account dialog still comes up the first time you try to get transactions anyway. * Once everything is set up, getting transactions seems to work but the end result is a matcher window with only a single 0-value and 0-date transaction. * Setting AQBANKING_LOGLEVEL=info or debug does nothing. * Setting AQOFXCONNECT_LOGLEVEL=info produces a single additional message: '* 13:20:06 WARN /Users/john/Development/Gnucash-Build/Gnucash-master-git/src/aqbanking-5.99.44beta/src/libs/plugins/backends/aqofxconnect/provider.c: 159: Overriding loglevel for AqOFXConnect with "info"'. Pretty useless. * GWEN_LOGLEVEL=debug produces a lot of output but little of it is of much help. FWIW https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/623 made no difference. I don't know how much of that's fixable from GnuCash. Martin said last week that he's suspended development of OFX so anything that isn't is presumably broken forever.

Amen!
I'm helping my wifeto move off Win7 (she won't use Win10) to ubuntu,
and I set her up with 18.04 Mate.
I did a build of 3.8 on her new installation t'other day and it went
with no trouble at all, except I had to tell cmake not to try to build
the sql parts. And that was no biggie.
She doesn't use many of the advanced features, so I don't expect her
to have big problems...I built her a 3.1 (on Centos) back when it was
new and she had no issues with it either so I don't expect any on 3.8
either.
Thanks to the hard-working Gnucash team!

Re: [GNC] v3.8
Thanks for the explanation, David. I think I may have been a bit over-zealous
in my sudo use at the first stages of the procedure; that is perhaps what
caused the permissions issue when I did not 'sudo' later on.
I also run Gnucash inside Debian Buster virtual machines on both my Mac and
Windows machines (as well as the native apps), so at some stage I will have
to repeat this build operation there. When I do, I will try and be more
careful about my sudo use and see if I can build without problems; I'll
report back in due course. Now I know a bit more about how it should go, I
would also like to see how much can be done without resort to
buster-backports. Because these are virtual machines, which I can clone
(backup) before I start, it will be a bit easier to experiment with.
Buster has been out more than six months now and I may be ready soon for an
upgrade to Bullseye ('testing' in Debian) soon. By then v3.8 may have
reached the repository with a bit of luck.
A big thank you to whoever updated the 'Building on Linux' wiki
documentation, which was much improved over the last time I tried to build
Gnucash myself.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
I fully appreciate everything you say. My suggestion was only posted to see if there was any way that 'amateurs' like myself who use it under Windows 10 on a PC, can feel happy. Of course there are no guarantees, even with expensive bought software, that is why I left more than one other accounting product.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
This definitely looks like a permissions issue.
One possibility is if you downloaded the source file with root permissions
or copied it to another location using sudo privileges it may have saved the
file with ownership by the root user so when you try to build it as your
normal user it does not have the permissions required to access the
directory. Cmake does not have to be run as a super user (sudo) and after
you have extracted the source directories from the downloaded file they
should be owned by your login user as should all subdirectories including
the build directories. If you used sudo privileges to create the build
directory a similar problem may have occurred. Check the file ownership of
the source directory and its subdirectories and of the build directory ("ls
-al" if using a terminal).
sudo only has to be used with the "make install" command (and not with the
"make " command to build the libraries) when you are installing to a system
location (/usr/local or /opt) so that the install procedure can copy the
required files to a system owned location.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
Greg It is certainly possible to run a number of versions in parallel. I usually install my production version in /usr/local and I often initially install a new version under my home directory and work initially on a copy of the data file in a new location until I am happy to make it the production version usualy only a couple of days. It is also possible to install a separate version under /opt for use by all users. The catch is that the same user specific configuartion files are used by each version (and there sometimes can be conflicts). I also do a little minor deelopment and documentation work so I usually have the maint or master branches of the program and documentation installed at a separate location under my home directory. If you need to separate the user config files, you can always use a separate login to run each version but then you may need to copy data files to the new user. You can also put files in a dropbox location and the allow each user to signin and open them.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
Finbar, Each release announcement is accompanied by a list of fixes and a list of remaining bugs that the developers believe may be important to some users. Those lists are best estimates and more issues may appear when the release reaches a wider audience. It is then up to the user to estimate and compare the risk of adopting that release or waiting for the next release, not knowing whether his or her 'showstopper' bug will be fixed by then. Most 'bugs' can be worked around somehow, but is that ok for you? The developers also try to keep a path open for users to revert to an older release if they have a problem with the current release. This last release illustrates how difficult that can be when circumstances outside of their control get in the way, as the situation with AQBanking in Germany made both the new and the old releases fail in one way or another.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
Finbar, GnuCash is not generally altered between the stable releases unless you are using the "master" or "maint" branches from the Github repository to build GnuCash. If you are using the release tarball or a release version from the website or made available via a Linux distribution it will not change until the next release. The minor release e.g. 3.0->3.1->3.2->3.3->3.4->... are usually bug fixes. The major bugs which are show stoppers if any are likely to be fixed in the first minor release after the major,i.e. 3.0 release but they are hopefully found in prerelease testing. The bug fixes are unlikely to affect the core functionality and are mainly convenience features. The major release e.g 2.x.y->3.0 are often where major changes have been made in the code and unforseen bugs might be introduced. This is perhaps where a less confident user should delay going to the new version. With the 2.x.y->3.0 transition by the release of v3.2 Gnucash was pretty well usable by the majority of users. GnuCash is generally sufficiently flexible in its approach that a workaround any problem is likely to be available. I have used each version in the V3.x series within a day or two of its release and have never encountered any major functionality problems in the accounting core of GnuCash. I have an accounting background and some programming experience which gives me the confidence I can survive any problems. I also backup my data files before installing a new release and mark them with the release they pertain to so I can go back if necessary but I have never had to do so. Occasionally there are problems you have to work around with display and reports etc and occasionally problems where changes in the user file locations occurred but these are generally resolved within a few days with either a workaround or a patched release. GnuCash has a unit testing program in place which is designed to detect any major bugs affecting the core accounting functionality which helps to minimize major bugs even on a 2->3 transition. I think it is hard to define at which point a minor release version is stable enough for all users and there is no way the developers can absolutely guarantee that that is the case. If you are a business user and your livelihood depends on your bookkeeping you are going to be less tolerant of minor bugs which interfere with your workflow but not the core accounting. I'm retired so my accounting is optional in many ways so if it stuffs up I can afford the time to go back and sort it out. The nature of the queries and the replies in the User mailing list is often the best indicator. When they drop off in frequency and users problems are being resolved quickly and most relate to cosmetic features is usually the point where a new release is usable by a majority of the user base.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
I eventually succeeded in building and installing Gnucash v3.8 on Debian Buster I installed to /usr/local because David had success with that. Not sure what I did to make it work, but it could have been any of the following: - used 'sudo' before cmake, make and make install commands; otherwise had permissions errors - I used: sudo cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ~/Downloads/gnucash-3.8b/gnucash-3.8 - after unsuccessful attempts, I deleted the build-gnucash-3.8 directory before every new attempt; when I did not, the make command seemed to think things were OK when they weren't and didn't, perhaps, instigate some of my fixes - I generally installed packages with dependency errors (if I saw them) with buster-backports (this was new for me, but see this URL: https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ - because I had had an error on 'make' concerning aqbanking, I did a search in buster-backports for every package containing 'aqbanking' and installed them one by one with apt or apt-get before attempting another build -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
Stable releases are certainly intended to work for ordinary users, though it's always possible to have regressions. With AQBanking we have an unfortunate conundrum: The AQBanking developer wasn't paying attention to legal developments in Germany and the EU and was caught short by some substantial changes in the FinTS (formerly HBCI) system last September, to the point that the AQBanking completely stopped working there. He has since been playing catch-up with his development branch so that it mostly works again, but it's a development branch and isn't stable. Unfortunately that put us in the position of either bundling the last stable release of AQBanking that doesn't work at all in Germany or bundling the not-quite stable development beta release that mostly does work in Germany. I decided to go with the beta. If that turns out to be a problem for you you can review the changes in the release notes (see https://www.gnucash.org/news.phtml) and decide whether it's worth it to use 3.8 anyway or to stick with 3.7.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
Finbar, I think the Gnucash developers do their due diligence in testing but some things don't appear until a wider group start to use the new version. If you depend on Gnucash, and you are using MacOS, I suggest you clone your drive with SuperDuper! or similar software before installing a new Gnucash and then test it for yourself. My MacOS Gnucash v3.8 works without problem. My issues installing Gnucash 3.8 on Debian Linux Buster are only of my own making: if I were more patient, the Debian system itself would automatically upgrade Gnucash for me after other Debian users had done a bit more testing. In a sense, I am trying to do something prematurely and only have myself to blame if it goes wrong. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
Happy New Year, All Perhaps a better strategy is for the ordinary user to do the waiting. As is the case with a variety of software, both FOSS and commercial, you take some risk when immediately installing and running newly released software. It's just too complicated to test for all possible contingencies. Seems like the developers have to make the best compromise between development efforts and checking for every possible issue. Don't forget, everyone working on this project is doing it to benefit everyone for free. They somewhat rely on users to test and report back about their issues. If anyone has resources to donate, please inquire where you may help. Anyone who has time may can get involved with helping to test before release, for example. I imagine there's a way to get access to a regular (perhaps daily?) build. This could be compiled and installed on a spare computer and tested with a copy of your normal working data. Report back what happens. I don't mean to direct this effort, but if anyone wants this process to improve, they should consider donating resources toward that improvement. I wish I had time to help more, but in my case, I'm still on 2.6.21. It serves me well, so I have no need to upgrade other than for a circumstance where I need to ask how to do something, it's better to have a recent version running. My wish is that there was an easy way to install a newer GnuCash release without giving up the previous, that they could run alongside each other for a while.

Probably not, but make a copy of the file first. You might also find your latest backup before the upgrade, make a copy of that, and try opening it with 3.8, ideally by running GnuCash with --log gnc.backend.dbi=debug and then saving the tracefile aside so that it doesn't get overwritten.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
Well, that was the clue that fixed things for me. I was able to do a wee bit of cpan updating and it apparently fixed the conflict that was causing me all the failures. Everything works nicely. Also, if i might add, the latest 3.8 version seems to start up a bit quicker than its elder predecessor. Now, time to delve into how to apply GTK3 themes - if that's possible on MacOS.

[GNC] v3.8 - Unable to save to database message - all accounts zero
Hi, I just installed v3.8 on my Windows 10 machine (not sure exactly which version I had previously, but it was at least v3.6). I save in the sqlite format. When I open my file, all the account have zero balances. Double-clicking on an account brings up an empty register (i.e. no transactions). Closing the account generates the message 'unable to save to database'. Here's what I've done so far: 1. A google search got me to this post experiencing a similar error message: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GNC-Unable-to-save-to-database-Build-ID-3-2-2018-06-24-td4702739.html. 2. I took a look at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile to find the trace file on my system. 3. Took a look at the trace file. It had lots of errors like this /* 06:14:22 ERROR [GncDbiSqlConnection::execute_select_statement()] Error executing SQL SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE guid IN (SELECT DISTINCT tx_guid FROM splits WHERE account_guid = 'fd3362e93c5d4c55977254dfd1ee61a9') * 06:14:22 ERROR [error_handler()] DBI *error: 1: no such table: splits*/ 4.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
It should but you will have to install all the dependencies and their development headers to build successfully. There is a breakout page from the building instruction which gives you the dependencies to install. (There are occasionally some that are not covered as it depends on what the particular Linux distribution installs as standard and what libraries have been installed with other software but it is now pretty complete). When you run cmake, it will stop with an error if anything is missing. Identify the missing dependency or come back to the list, install it and rerun cmake until it completes with out error. Library names can sometimes vary slightly between distributions to complicate matters (usually addition of a version number or "lib" in front apt-cache search is a good way to find libraries with a slightly different package name. - David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Nope. If I paste that into my browser I get a nice JSON quote. Maybe you have
other perl modules, LWP comes to mind, that are borked. Try `sudo cpan -i
Finance::Quote` which should get F::Q and all of its dependencies up to date.

Hi John,
Seems like I'm always dealing with Perl troubles on here.
I found the utility script you described, and the results I get with it are
as expected:

};
< --- End Test --- >
Perl: V5.18.2
Finance::Quote V1.49
MacOS Sierra V10.12.6
I'm kind of at a loss as to how to debug this given the above info. Could it
be that the URL in the YahooJSON.pm I have is no longer valid?

Re: [GNC] v3.8
I may have posted too soon without testing the debian packages for v3.8.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
On MacOS 10.15 with GnuCash 3.8:
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump yahoo_json AMZN
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: AMZN <=== required
date: 12/30/2019 <=== recommended
currency: USD <=== required
last: 1846.89 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: <=/
timezone: <=== optional
I don't remember offhand what perl shipped on Sierra, but Catalina has only
5.18 and the latest is 5.30. That's clearly not required.
There's a test program, stockdump.pl in the cpan build directory
(~/.cpan/Finance-Quote-1.47-YeicSt/Examples/stockdump.pl on my system):
~/.cpan/build/Finance-Quote-1.47-YeicSt/Examples/stockdump.pl yahoo_json AMZN
$VAR1 = {
'AMZNvolume' => 3591419,
'AMZNlast' => '1846.89',
'AMZNmethod' => 'yahoo_json',
'AMZNdate' => '12/30/2019',
'AMZNcurrency' => 'USD',
'AMZNname' => 'AMZN (Amazon.com, Inc.)',
'AMZNsymbol' => 'AMZN',
'AMZNsuccess' => 1,
'AMZNisodate' => '2019-12-30',
'AMZNexchange' => 'Sourced from Yahoo Finance (as JSON)',
'AMZNtype' => 'EQUITY'
};
That might be helpful for troubleshooting.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
Thanks, David. I just used the quote downloading in the 2.6 version I was running previously, on 2019-12-27 (Friday). After the update to 3.8 today, it no longer works. Running gnc-fq-dump yahoo_json amzn gets me nothing. Not even the date. I ran the gnc-fq-update module to try and get things working, but to no avail. That makes me think it's my Perl installation or something of the sort, since I don't hear any others screaming about it. I looked back through the old posts about this, but it always seemed to be an alphavantage difficulty, or some such. I have been using "Yahoo as JSON" for as long as that has been around, with no problems. Maybe I'll need to install the latest Perl or something like that.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
I just updated from my previous 2.6 variant (can't recall the actual version, but it was near the end of the series). I cannot get any Finance::Quote data. Was using yahoo_json, but it doesn't work any more, not able to even get a quote for AMZN from gnc-fq-dump. Doesn't even return the date.
