00:03:32 <warlord> fell, I honestly dont know what branch(es) www pulls from
00:04:32 <fell> 5 years ago, linas changed that file. So it is possible something is not clean there.
00:06:07 <warlord> could be. but we might need to reach out to him
00:06:40 <warlord> i have not heard back from him in months
00:06:55 <warlord> i sent mail to him back in May and have not heard back
00:11:25 <fell> @lastseen linas
00:11:25 <gncbot> fell: Error: "lastseen" is not a valid command.

01:09:26 <chris> fell: i still don't see test failure - see travis is quite happy https://travis-ci.org/github/gnucash/gnucash
01:09:48 <chris> I wonder why you get errors in test-owner-report
01:26:12 <fell> The last on travis was https://travis-ci.org/github/gnucash/gnucash/builds/745211762
01:30:15 <chris> fell: no I have reverted this change. check again.
01:37:18 <fell> Usually you should commit after a successful 'ninja check', but sometimes things go wrong. ;-)
01:38:41 <fell> like check on Repo A and push on repo B, …
01:53:38 <chris> the github failure comes from actions. check again.

09:40:01 <Zweieck2> I'm trying to find my way around setting up online banking (in Germany). It was working before, but I kinda didn't need and thus neglected it, half a year passed, and I think I should get it working again ^^
09:43:24 <Zweieck2> Currently it seems to me that the bank thing is linked, but selecting e.g. "Get Balance" from the Online Actions just shows me "Online Action "Get Balance" not available for this account."

10:14:41 <chris> CDB: one of my earliest insights into the difficulty of pricing stock is: buy 1STOCK @100. then 2:1 stock-split. I have 2 STOCK @ 50. The networth linechart should be a straight line, but is not. Any thoughts of a sound formula to calculate value at arbitrary time.
10:15:00 <chris> @jralls ^ this is why I'm motivated to incorporate acb-tool into libengine/apputils
10:15:00 <gncbot> chris: Error: "jralls" is not a valid command.
10:15:05 <chris> oh well

12:26:05 <jralls> chris, that's what the New Price entry in the Stock Split assistant is for, so that there's a post-split price in the pricedb.

16:49:19 <warlord> fell, run test-owner-report by hand?
16:54:07 <fell> And that is done how?
16:54:51 <warlord> Umm.. I dunno...
17:03:55 <fell> Reading Pedros htdocs pt.po patch reveals more mistakes in the sources than in his translation. :-(
17:06:34 <fell> Is there a common separator in en_US for a bullet list like in https://www.gnucash.org/beta/features.phtml Checkbook-Style Register?
17:09:45 <fell> … between the list elements.

17:59:54 <chris> ctest -V -R test-owner-report
18:01:54 <chris> jralls: hmm using price-nearest shows incorrect chart for data points preceding stock-split
18:02:23 <chris> eg. immediatly before split it'll show I own 2 STOCK @ $100
18:02:38 <chris> eg. immediatly before split it'll show I own 1 STOCK @ $50, oops

19:03:48 *** Zweieck2 has quit IRC
19:16:41 <jralls> chris, sounds like there
19:18:34 *** jervin has joined #gnucash
19:18:40 <jralls> OIC. So for nearest in time you need a $100 price entry on the day before the split.
19:20:37 *** jervin has quit IRC
19:20:45 <jralls> That's sort-of why David Carlson (Robert847 here) has been asking for a "nearest before" report option: His point is that if you have a price on friday and one on monday and the report date is sunday the report will pick up the monday price but should use the friday one.

19:37:45 <chris> and obtain accurate avg-cost anytime
19:38:22 <chris> third option is to add a before-stock-split old price, very hackish

19:46:28 <chris> jralls: my absolute preference is to omit pricedb and have a stockacct->acb_prices glist of dates and prices --> could be calculated on-the-fly in xaccAcountRecomputeBalance
19:46:47 <chris> ^ at no performance hit
19:48:48 <chris> ^ note xaccAccountRecomputeBalance has some blurb about handling priced accounts differently, but the code doesn't do it
19:55:34 <chris> I'm sure CDB could assist tweaking his formula to become a stockacct property
19:55:48 *** jervin has quit IRC
20:13:33 <chris> I have a feeling the 'cumulative-acb' from 797796 spreadsheet is the 'average-cost' suitable for use in reports

22:01:10 <chris> jralls: augmenting gnc_pricedb to have a 'nearest-before' price is difficult to due indirect-price-conversion.
22:01:35 <chris> jralls: (I assume you won't want nearest-before in guile)
22:01:55 <chris> I bail.
22:02:46 <chris> difficult = too many internal refactoring required
22:06:39 <chris> I'd still prefer ignore pricedb and use cdb's formulas to derive a 'commodity-price-at-date' functio
22:15:02 <chris> see latest commit https://github.com/christopherlam/gnucash/tree/maint-pricedb-nearest-before not completed yet.
22:22:26 *** Mechtilde has joined #gnucash
22:25:01 <chris> (if nearest-before was in guile it'd be easy!)
22:25:26 *** Mechtilde has quit IRC
23:34:34 <CDB-Man> you cannot ignore pricedb
23:34:45 <CDB-Man> price db gives you market value, which is not a derived value
23:35:32 <CDB-Man> transaction prices get input into price db as well, we can and should read those if we arent already
23:35:52 <CDB-Man> but that still doesn't replace EOD pricing
23:39:57 <CDB-Man> pricedb wont have indirect price conversion issues after we have root currency properly implemented
