[GNC] Can't seem to load custom reports

[Adrien Monteleone]

Spurred by another thread concerning carrying over custom reports from 2.6.x to 3.x, I finally decided to get around to doing the same for my own. I’ve grabbed several reports from the mailing list over the years that I was testing and playing with from 2.6.x and would like to get them working again.

I’m on Mojave.

The reports are stored in:

/HOME/Library/Application Support/GnuCash

I have a config-user.scm file there as well.

I’ve tried three different syntaxes of the ‘load’ directive in that file. Following is each method along with TraceFile output for each:

-----
#1 - escaping the [space] in the path

(load (/Users/adrien/Library/Application\ Support/GnuCash “my-various-report.scm”))

TraceFile:

I noticed for #2 & #3 that quoting the path has `load` wanting to insert a “\” before it, or at least that’s what it looks like. (see #2 line 4 and #3 line 16)

#1 wants to truncate the path at the escape for the space.

#3 appears to get further along in loading. Perhaps there is a problem with one of the reports? Unfortunately, the TraceFile doesn’t seem to indicate which one.

Thoughts, ideas? Am I missing something or have a syntax error I’m not seeing? Do I just have to test them one by one to find the culprit?

Thanks.

Adrien
