Re: Price Retrieval Failure, Part 2

John, A little patience; I am honestly grasping at straws. Given that I consistently have troubles that others can't replicate or don't experience, I am looking for some way to get back to what others have. That means trying to figure out what has been put in, and taking it back out again, to

Re: Price Retrieval Failure, Part 2

Sorry to be replying to my own message, but it also occurs to me that, in addition to Gnucash, Finance::Quote gets installed. Given that my troubles in this instance are intimately linked to F::Q, what steps might I take to ensure that IT gets removed as well?I David On February 10, 2018, at

Re: Price Retrieval Failure, Part 2

John, Thank you for clarifying. I'll note that Gnucash does put stuff into ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash as well, so there is at least one thing that gets installed. I asked this question because I am still observing several "idiosyncrasies" on my system that no one else seems to be

Re: Price Retrieval Failure, Part 2

GnuCash on the Mac doesn’t install anything. You drag the bundle to wherever you like, and you can have as many as you like. If you want to try a “fresh installation” (shouldn’t make any difference, nothing in the bundle should change with use) just open up the dmg and drag Gnucash.app

Re: Price Retrieval Failure, Part 2

In reply to my own message, in the interest of trying to run a fresh installation of GnuCash, I logged in to a different (new) Mac user account and replicated the test there. In other words, I opened GnuCash and created a simple file with AAPL and tried to retrieve prices. I receive the same

Re: Price Retrieval Failure, Part 2

Unfortunately, adding these lines to my config.user did not result in any further information. I am stumped, and disappointed. It seems that an upgrade of GnuCash not only tanks one’s customized environment file in the application bundle (understandable), but also any additional files that a

Re: Price Retrieval Failure, Part 2

Oh, and I mentioned this in the earlier thread, but it bears repeating: the Security Editor window has the option to display price source. As with the Chart of Accounts window, there is a selector arrow on the upper right corner which drops down a list of user-selectable co,lumns for display.

Re: Price Retrieval Failure, Part 2

David, You can put the attached config.user file in your DOT_GNUCASH_DIR ($HOME/ Library/Application Support/Gnucash) If you then start gnucash from the command line, it should print out the value of your API key there, together with the version of Finance::Quote that got installed. Unless the

Re: Price Retrieval Failure, Part 2

David, Sorry for the typos, I should have tested first. Then I would have realized that of course price-quotes.scm eats gnc-fq-helper’s stdout--that’s after all how it gets the quotes. Unfortunately it seems also to send stderr to /dev/null so that approach won’t work without changing

Re: Price Retrieval Failure, Part 2

John, Thanks for the suggestion. I inserted the line as you indicated (at line 324 in my copy of gnc-fq-helper), but didn’t get any output on the command line after “Found Finance::Quote version 1.47” I’m not much for perl, but I noticed your snippet had one ‘(‘, one ‘{‘, and two ‘}’. I
