Re: [GNC-dev] [GNC] error message with finance::quote gnc-path-check + problems with retrieving quotes for 2 symbols.

2020-06-24 Thread David H
Now now, we have some of the best dialup systems in the world in the
outback, no Covid either. I'm starting to buy into this whole 5g / Covid
conspiracy theory after all :-). Elon Musk's Starlink satellite's will fix
everything anyway !!!

Cheers David H (Not quite in the outback)

Further : the user case for a user to be actually unable to access the internet 
to consult the wiki is I think rather extreme. Inconvenient, perhaps; 
maddeningly slow, even. But actually unavailable? 

Personally, I'm not sure how many transactions I would generate in the 
"outback," anyway. I'd just wait until I had some connectivity to do my online 
accounting. Besides my laptops never have that much battery life to them.

you are still walking in the wrong direction!

If you are in the outback the wiki is not available or the access is
very expensive, but the docs are installed on
* Windows and Macos always,
* Linux details depend on the distribution and your choice. Usually if
you install gnucash, you get the recommendation to install gnucash-docs,

Please remember to copy the list on all replies.

The security you had trouble with is QCSCRX. I get:
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump -v yahoo_json 
QCSCRX
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: QCSCRX   <=== required
  date: 06/23/2020   <=== recommended
  currency: USD  <=== required
  last: 267.395  <=\
   nav:  <=== one of these
 price:  <=/
  timezone:  <=== optional

All fields returned by Finance::Quote for stock QCSCRX

stock   field  value
-   -  -
QCSCRX   currency: USD
QCSCRX   date: 06/23/2020
QCSCRX   exchange: Sourced from Yahoo Finance (as JSON)

QCSCRX   last: 267.395
QCSCRX method: yahoo_json
QCSCRX   name: QCSCRX (CREF Social Choice Account - R1)
QCSCRXsuccess: 1
QCSCRX symbol: QCSCRX
QCSCRX   type: MUTUALFUND
Use of uninitialized value in printf at 
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump line 138.
QCSCRX volume:

It seems unlikely that it would be anything other than a temporary issue at 
Yahoo!.
