I'm using gnucash 3.4 and Finance::Quote 1.47 on linux (ubuntu 19.04).
I'm trying to get FQ to work for me.
When I enter a dual-currency transaction, the quote editor pops up. If
I touch the "fetch rate" button, I see a dialog that says "unable to
retrieve quotes for these items: CURRENCY:CHF" and three other currencies.
I have precisely those four currencies in use, though I'm a bit confused
why FQ would have tried to fetch all four at once when I only needed
one. I'm also confused why it found none.
Based on a conversation on this list in 2018, I tried this:
jeff at birdsong:~ $ gnc-fq-dump currency USD EUR
1 USD = <unknown> EUR
jeff at birdsong:~ $ gnc-fq-dump alphavantage USD EUR
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: USD (deduced) <=== required
date: ** missing ** <=== recommended
currency: ** missing ** <=== required
last: <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: <=/
timezone: <=== optional
** This stock quote cannot be used by GnuCash!

Any suggestions on what to do or what to test?
