[GNC] Using custom reports in gnucash

[Adrien Monteleone]

Try not using a chatbot to write code?

First, did you go through the debugging section of that wiki page? Is 
there nothing in those steps to provide hints of what is wrong? (at the 
very least, the Tracefile should contain complaints about the report not 
loading)

After those steps are exhausted, or you've found warnings/failure 
messages but don't know what to do about them, if Mailman will allow it, 
try posting your report here, maybe as a txt file instead of scm. 
Otherwise, if you have it on something like Github or other repository, 
just link it here in a reply. (along with the contents of your 
config-user.scm file)

This could be a simple syntax error.

Regards,
Adrien
