[GNC] F::Q issue with upgrading to GNC 5.10

[Kalpesh Patel]

I put GNC 5.10 in debug mode and I see following snippet if it helps:

 

* 22:00:35  INFO <gnc.app-utils.gsettings> [gnc_gsettings_register_cb]

Hi folks  –

 

I just bumped up my GNC from 4.14 to 5.10 on Windows 11 Pro. After launching
newly installed GNC, it is showing “Warning: Finance::Quote not installed
properly.” for Quote Source Information in the Edit Security Window, and
Price Database à Get Quotes button is greyed out. This had no issue with GNC
v4.14 and was retrieving quotes perfectly fine. The installed version of
F::Q is 1.62 but Help à About in GNC shows no string which wasn’t the case
with GNC 4.14. I do have couple of custom F::Q modules for which minimal
changes were made to F::Q to include those personal modules, and because of
that I have held back to this version.

 

Is this a known incompatibility by any chance? I am aware of that
reinstalling F::Q could fix the problem but I am trying to refrain from
doing so at the moment. Far as I know there should not be any direct
coupling between two as long as the contract is maintained between them –
which I am very well aware of what that looks like. 

 

Any insight is welcome.
