Price Retrieval Failure

[David T.]

David,
I know how to extract that information. 
My point is that it should be made readily available to a user ***from within gnucash***.
This is especially true given that it is possible for F::Q to work in one scenario (i.e., at the command line), but not the other. I will also note that there are many instances where a user has multiple versions of F::Q on their systems, with one version running at the command line, and the other in gnucash. 
So, really, for reliable debugging, you need to know exactly what gnucash thinks it is using. 

Documentation isn't the answer here, since F::Q is a separately maintained project. 
David T.

Some of that information is already available.  I know that the F::Q version appears in the console if GnuCash is started from the command line.  There are also instructions somewhere in the WIKI (I think) to run F::Q as a stand-alone.  Perhaps the answer is to have better documentation (which is dear to the hearts of some of us ;-) )

Derek,

I did edit the environment file.

This experience makes it clear to me that it would be nice if Gnucash had some way of showing F::Q information to the end user, like a screen showing the version installed, and maybe having buttons to trigger the various gnc- scripts and show the output. This would make debugging just a tad easier... (Note that I am not asking for better error messages, which certainly would be nice, but not likely, since finance quote isn't Gnucash).

Did you update the environment file again after the upgrade? The update
process overwrites that file.
