[GNC] Problem getting Finance::Quote working

[Tomas Volf]

Hello,

Today I installed gnucash and am trying to get fetch quotes from the
internet, and I am having troubles getting it to work.  I am not
subscribed, so please CC.

When I try the `gnucash-cli --quotes info', it seems to work:

$ /gnu/store/fq2bix6lr0rls6vld4xwb1dchkkdjnx1-gnucash-5.9/bin/gnucash-cli --quotes info

Found Finance::Quote version 1.64.

However when I try to actually get some quotes, I get this "error":

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ /gnu/store/fq2bix6lr0rls6vld4xwb1dchkkdjnx1-gnucash-5.9/bin/gnucash-cli --quotes dump australia CML

CML Finance::Quote returned no data and set no error.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Which seems weird.  The helper itself appears to work:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ echo '{"defaultcurrency": "USD","australia": {"CML": ""}}' | /gnu/store/fq2bix6lr0rls6vld4xwb1dchkkdjnx1-gnucash-5.9/bin/finance-quote-wrapper -f
{"australia":{"CML":{"name":"CONNECTED MINERALS LIMITED","success":1,"last":0.2,"method":"asx","price":0.2,"type":"","net":0,"errormsg":"","bid":0.18,"symbol":"CML","p_change":"0","volume":1019,"currency":"AUD","exchange":"Australian Securities Exchange","ask":0.2}}}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When I strace the `gnucash-cli' binary, it seems it does get the JSON
back:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ strace -v -s 8192 -- /gnu/store/fq2bix6lr0rls6vld4xwb1dchkkdjnx1-gnucash-5.9/bin/gnucash-cli --quotes dump australia CML

write(1, "CML Finance::Quote returned no data and set no error.\n", 54CML Finance::Quote returned no data and set no error.
) = 54

I am on 5.9 version:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ /gnu/store/fq2bix6lr0rls6vld4xwb1dchkkdjnx1-gnucash-5.9/bin/gnucash-cli --version
GnuCash 5.9
Build ID: 5.9+(2024-09-28)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Would anyone have some suggestion what might be wrong and how I can fix
this?

Thank you and have a nice day,
Tomas Volf
