Hi Adrien, I worked my way through the GnuCash wiki on loading custom reports at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Where_to_find_existing_reports. I made a tiny bit of headway, but not much.
I have set up a new file called config-user.scm in ~/Library/Application Support/GnuCash on my fully updated Mojave system. This replaced the filed called config.user I copied from my Yosemite installation running GnuCash 2.6.16. As part of following the instruction on the wiki, I copied the Hello World report from the GnuCash application package and modified it slightly to be different from the example report. I then placed it in ~/Library/Application Support/GnuCash/John Report and added (load (gnc-build-userdata-path "John-Report.scm”)) as the first line of config-user.scm. This loaded a report called John Report into the top level of the Reports menu, so I know I at least have that part working. However, using a similar line in the config-user.scm file for the reports I downloaded from this list gives me nothing in the Reports menu. In fact, if I place those lines before the John-Report line, even it does not appear. I guess some problem in those other reports is terminating the whole loading process. That seems like an odd way of doing things. I tried this singly with each report an none of them worked, including the consolidation report Doug Doughty contributed on June 4, 2018 as an update to work with GnuCash 3.1. I guess I have to wait until I have time to learn Scheme or someone else updates these reports to work with GnuCash’s ever-changing interface.
