Hello,

I have an issue with finance-quote. When I do an "Get Quotes" in the price
editor of gnucash 2.2.8, I get

Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:
FUND:LYX0AG
Continue using only the good quotes?

But when I run

$ /opt/gnucash-2.2.8/bin/gnc-fq-dump VWD LYX0AG
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
  symbol: LYX0AG               <=== required

currency: EUR                  <=== required
    last: 68.06                <=\
     nav:                      <=== one of these
   price: 68.06                <=/
timezone:                      <=== optional
$

which seems ok.

Any ideas why gnucash could refuse to update the fund prices?

Looks like VWD changed their site again, or is otherwise sending what looks like a date in the time field. Gnucash wants a fully qualified date+time in order to accept the data. The time being sent by VWD is not valid.


Hmm. Looks like a finance::quote bug. There's a data chunk that the VWD site html describes as "datum" that, at least over the weekend is returning a date. But the finance::quote code is stuffing it into the $time field. I'd have to see a VWD quote taking place during active trading hours to see if datum holds a time then. I don't see anything else that looks like a timestamp for the quote itself. You get a date and time that the quote is retrieved, but I'm not seeing the time associated with the stock value.
