[GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

Stock Assistant will be only visible/active when your account type is a stock or mutual fund. i was able to enter the transactions

You can access it from Actions>Stock Assistant when the focus tab is the Accounts page or a Stock or Fund account register.

Hello Murugan,

I've reinstalled Gnucash 5.  gnucash-cli.exe continues to work.  Actions|Stock Assistance is greyed out.  I still can't  update the quote source in the security editor (greyed out) and doing an update flashes the shell, but no updates are made.

Also can you please check and confirm if you are able to access Stock Assistant from Actions menu,  it was appearing greyed out earlier , but after multiple install it has disappeared.

Hello David - yes the button is enabled.

Thank you Murugan.  It's nice to know it's not just my crazy machine.

Subject: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a few pointers on how to troubleshoot an issue I'm having
with v5 downloading quotes.  I had no issues with v4.13.  When I select
"Tools|Price Database|GetQuotes" a shell opens and closes quickly and
nothing is updated.

I don't seem to have any issues with gnucash-cli.  Here are the results:
---
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>gnucash-cli.exe --verbose -Q dump
yahoo_json acn
acn:
     isodate => 2023-03-27
         low => 270.64
        type => EQUITY
        name => acn (Accenture plc)
          pe => 25.180145
    exchange => Sourced from Yahoo Finance (as JSON)
         eps => 10.88
    currency => USD
      method => yahoo_json
     success => 1
      volume => 2805531
       close => 272
        date => 03/27/2023
  year_range =>        242.8 - 345.3
        last => 273.96
        open => 270.73
   div_yield => 1.5919117
      symbol => acn
        high => 274.36
---

Running gnucash with the "--log gnc.scm=debug"  shows the following error:

* 15:11:29 ERROR <gnc.gui> [gnc_prices_dialog_get_quotes_clicked()] Price
retrieval failed: Failed to parse result returned by Finance::Quote.
Error message:
<unspecified file>(1): expected value

To me, it's odd that gnucash-cli.exe seems to work where the gnucash app
itself does not.

I have Finance::Quote: 1.54 installed and it shows this in Help | About

Lastly, if I check the security editor, it seems like every quote provider
is greyed out.  This woudl suggest to me that gnucash doesn't think there
is a valid Finance::Quote configured.

I'd appreciate any pointers on how to dig deeper and determine what broke
for me between 4.13 and 5.0.  Is anyone else having issues?

I'm enjoying v5 quite a bit - congrats on the release.

Michael
