<https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-January/074224.html>, I
noted that after upgrading my installation from 2.6.16 to 2.6.19 on my Mac (OS
X 10.13.3), Price retrieval was failing with the generic error: "There was an
unknown error while retrieving the price quotes.”
*** As I noted there: Finance::Quote works at the command line:

$ /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump -v alphavantage
AAPL
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: AAPL <=== required
date: 02/08/2018 <=== recommended
currency: USD <=== required
last: 160.1350 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: <=/
timezone: <=== optional
*** As I noted earlier: I restored the following two lines to
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/gnucash/environment:
# Set AlphaVantage API Key to allow Finance::Quote to work
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=************8SET
It seems to me that somehow Gnucash.app is not reading or using the
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY that is stored in its environment file. Either that, or
somehow my environment file is not properly configured. However, I do not see
any way to test these hypotheses.
Can anyone tell me how I might determine **FROM WITHIN GNUCASH.APP** whether
the Alphavantage API key is being read, and what its value currently is? Is
there any other way to troubleshoot this problem?
