[GNC] Can anyone help with this issue please - GNC-FQ Not able to collect data

[Bruce Schuck]

Hello all,

Chris G,

1.51 is not broken. We missed a bug in the F::Q 1.50 release that caused 
testing of at least one module to fail for some. 1.51 was pushed to CPAN 
a week later. F::Q v1.52 is likely at least a few months out.

David R (and Geoff),

The Windows system I used for testing F::Q 1.51 before pushing it to 
CPAN was deleted a few days ago, so under VirtualBox running on OSX 
Catalina I created a new Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) virtual machine as to 
install GnuCash and F::Q on a completely clean OS.

Windows 10 Pro
Version 21H1
OS Build 19043.928
64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Installed Strawberry Perl 5.32.1 MSWin32-64-multi-thread

Installed GnuCash 4.6

Installed F::Q 1.51 using cpanm.

C:\Users\bschuck> cpanm Finance::Quote

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>perl -MFinance::Quote -e "print 
$Finance::Quote::VERSION"
1.51

Set my ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY.

Tested using gnc-fq-helper:

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>echo (currency "USD" "GBP") | perl 
gnc-fq-helper
(("USD" (symbol . "USD") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2021-07-19 13:24:43") 
(last . #e0.73157) (currency . "GBP")))

Tested using the one-liner Geoff suggested:

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>perl -MFinance::Quote -e "my $q = 
Finance::Quote->new(); print $q->currency(q/USD/,q/GBP/);"
0.73132
