Thanks Geert, Yes, we can no longer display charts if GNC runs from the build directory.
This looks like a chartjs build issue. If I create this link, charts start showing. ln -s $(src_dir)/borrowed/chartjs $(build_dir)/share/gnucash/chartjs Maybe we can fix the CMake file to create the above link or copy the files to the build directory.
