Finance::Quote

Les Elliott
Since last Jan., none of my currencies have updated.  I use USD, AUD,
SGD, CAD, CHF, Euro, BPB, HKD, CNY in my transactions (I trade
international stocks, etc).
I have been updating them manually through the price editor and it is a
big pain.  I haven't a clue what happened in Jan. to kill this process.
I have another anomaly; after updating the price of CAD, it does not do
any translation to USD (my base currency),
nor does it update the price of my Canadian stocks.  All other stocks
seem to update ok.
All of the above was on a Mac book pro. beginning with ver. 2.4.3 and
now upgraded to 2.4.10.

As an alternative, I just installed a new LinuxMint 12 (Debian Ver) on a
netbook with 2.4.10 yesterday and have the exact same problem.  I am
beginning to think that this might be file related, as I imported my
gnucash files from my Mac.

After the install and encountering the same problem, I did gnc-fq-dump
yahoo CAD and got a response back which looks right.

This is a huge headache and would really appreciate some pointers or ...?

Thanks in advance.

Les

This has come up repeatedly here. It's nothing to do with you or with Gnucash. Yahoo changed the output and Finance::Quote needs to be patched to fix it. The maintainer of F::Q hasn't done a release in years, and I don't know if the fix for this has even been committed to his Github repository.

Yes, there has been some activity on the github repository for F::Q.
There were a number of commits around April 1 which fixed a number of
problems, including the currency quote problem.  There hasn't been a
new release and there are more problems that need to be fixed.

Mike:
Thanks for your reply:

It appears that I was not using < in the patch. When I did use it, I got
a message about wrong line number.  I don't know what that means.  (I am
not technical, just a user.)

The currency fixes is really all I am interested in. Where can I find
the currency fixes (I don't know what github is or where to find it)?
Thanks,

Patch takes as input the output of a Unix "diff oldversion newversion >
diffs", and applies it to files listed in the diff output to convert
them from the old version to the new version. It first tries to find the
place where a change is to be made by using the line numbers in the diff
output. If that fails, it tries to pattern-match the text of the old
version in the diffs file against the old version of the file. If that
match succeeds, the patch is preformed, but a warning is printed,
because it means that the old verson being patched isn't identical with
the oldversion that was used to generate the patch.

Much of the time this doesn't cause any problems, but you can't be
certain that patch has done the right thing.

Short version: the version that you're patching isn't identical to the
version that the patch is supposed to be applied to. That may be OK, or
it may not.

I used the downloaded files and successfully updated F::Q.  The only
remaining issue is that Canadian stocks do not seem to update.  I tried
several different sources in Security Editor, but none would update a
large Canadian stock.

But the really great news is my currencies are updating now. YEAH!!!
Thanks for pointing me to this folder.

Les

Which quote source are you using for your Canadian Stocks?  Is it
possible that the grabber for that site is still broken?

I have tried several from the list in the Security Editor.  None seem to
work.  I suppose the grabber is still broken.  I don't know if the
currency update addressed that function.

Thanks,

Have you tried using gnc-fq-dump to test F::Q?

I have tried gnc-fq-dump and it works for many stocks, but none of my
Canadian stocks.  It also does not work with at least on stock listed on
the Singapore exchange.

That implies that either the F::Q grabber for those sources is broken,
or you have the wrong symbol.

I do not have the wrong symbols because I am already invested in these
stocks and I have verified the symbols with the various exchanges.  So,
I am guessing that the grabber for them is broken.

Assuming that is the problem, is there a solution?

Thanks,
Les

Bad assumption.  Are you sure that you are using the correct symbol *for
the quote source*.  Just because you know the symbol is FOO does not
mean that the quote source will accept FOO.  It might require FOO.GB, or
FOO0123, or some other variation.

Assuming you have the correct symbol *for the quote source*, then the
problem is likely a problem with the F::Q grabber.  In which case you
would need to work with a F::Q developer to get it fixed.  :(

How would I tell if it is the correct symbol for the quote source?  My ASX
stocks have no problem with the "official symbols".

For Singapore (SGX) the only one I am aware of is Yahoo Asia.  For
Canadian stocks, I have tried TSX, TD Waterhouse, Finance Canada, and
Yahoo Canada.
