but I'm not quite sure how to run the plugin ?

Adam Gibbins

@adamgibbins

qymab: you simply put plugin "beancount.plugins.implicit_prices" at the top of your beancount file

Already put the syntax, but nothing change in beancount file ?

I try run the bean-check

@Zburatorul

@qymab, how did you install the plugin?

Hi,

Is there any method to get rid of old queries? How do one run queries inside the beancount file?

Glen Schrader

@gschrader

@llsjk_twitter it's kept in the browser local storage, F12 in chrome under Application

Hi,

how do you use the Import tool from Fava? I wrote my import script, it asks to map the account to the files in the import dir, but nothing happens after I press the "Move" button. Thanks!

Eugeniu Plamadeala

@Zburatorul

@dev4light, if you are not committed to using the fava import, I recommend beancount-import and finance-dl, a duo of packages that I use and work well.

Jakob Schnitzer

@yagebu

@dev4light: If you entered account and file name but nothing happens on "Move", that sounds like a bug. If there's some error moving the file, it should show a notification with the error, otherwise it should show a notification on success. Are there errors in the browser console?

varac Hej, I'm struggeling how to exclude an account from i.e. the balance sheet. Limiting it to one account by choosing one from the Account field above is intuitive, but how to exclude one ?

varac Nevermind, just found it on the filter help page (I was looking in the account section, not in the Filter by tag, link section)

Hi, I am a bit confused by how fava shows profits.

When I enter expenses entry, it gets reflected in net profit on the main dashboard page

Eugeniu Plamadeala

@Zburatorul

@yohanesyuen, are you talking about the profit = income - expenses formula, or the way things are displayed?

ryantm In beancount, is it possible to write a posting costing multiple commodities? Like say I trade one chicken for a hammer and $5.

matrixbot

@matrixbot

ryantm I should say what I'm trying to do: I'm trying to make a TXN that represents me manufacturing something. Like screwing together 4 SCREWS and 1 MECHANISM to make 1 WIDGET.

matrixbot

@matrixbot

ryantm I think I figured it out with something like:

ryantm

2020-11-11 * "Manufacturing"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
  Assets:Inventory 1 WIDGET { 30 USD }

@Zburatorul

@matrixbot, I see what you're trying to do. I don't know how to do that, but I suggest you ask on the beancount mailing list. It's quite active and you'll get a response.

matrixbot

@matrixbot

ryantm Do you have to do something special to turn on the budget plugin in Fava?

ryantm I added a custom directive for a monthly budget, but I don't see anything in the charts.

Eugeniu Plamadeala

@Zburatorul

Try this: http://localhost:5000/beancount/account/Expenses/changes/?interval=month

matrixbot

@matrixbot

ryantm posted an image:

ryantm Eugeniu Plamadeala (Gitter): I don't see anything about the budget on the link you gave me.

ryantm Looks like my image didn't go through to Gitter.

Ryan Mulligan

@ryantm

Eugeniu Plamadeala

@Zburatorul

You're showing the journal view. The link I gave you is supposed to show "changes". Some green and red numbers appear next to the entries, representing whether you went overbudget or not.

ryantm Oh, I see it and understand it now. Thank you!

Hello, Sorry to bother you. I am new to computers, and just isntalled beancount and fava. I recieved the following syntax error. Please if you could assist. I was not sure if this was the correct place to post.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/fava", line 7, in <module>
from fava.cli import main
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/fava/cli.py", line 89
print(f"Running Fava on http://{host}:{port}")

i assum it is a python error, but I have no programming background

matrixbot

@matrixbot

ryantm dnjkalnvfjdkln (Gitter): Can you post what command you typed and the full error message, if that isn't the full error message?

matrixbot

@matrixbot

xuhcc dnjkalnvfjdkln (Gitter): Looks like you need to install python 3.6 or later. Python 3.5 does not support f-strings afaik

dnjkalnvfjdkln

@dnjkalnvfjdkln

fava and path to my file

Adam Gibbins

@adamgibbins

That is as xuhcc said, you need python 3.6, you're running 3.5

s/3.6/3.6 or newer/

dnjkalnvfjdkln

@dnjkalnvfjdkln

nice thanks, ill try and install

appreciate the help!

dnjkalnvfjdkln

@dnjkalnvfjdkln

Hi again, sorry!

I use MX Linux, installed Python 3.9

in usr /local/ bin, when fava is run the program searches for python 3.5 same as above Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/fava", line 7, in <module>
from fava.cli import main
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/fava/cli.py", line 89
print(f"Running Fava on http://{host}:{port}")

Adam Gibbins

@adamgibbins

prefix fava with the name of your 3.9 binary

python39 /usr/bin/fava or whatever

dnjkalnvfjdkln

@dnjkalnvfjdkln

Ran the following:

python3.9 /usr/local/bin/fava

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/fava", line 7, in <module>
from fava.cli import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fava'

Jakob Schnitzer

@yagebu

You'll need to install Fava for Python 3.9 - so uninstall it first, and then install it with pip3.9 so that it is installed for Python 3.9 (currently it's installed at /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/fava, so 3.9 won't find it, hence the ModuleNotFoundError)

dnjkalnvfjdkln

@dnjkalnvfjdkln

Completed!! Thank you
I uninstalled 3.5 on synaptic package manager
switched to 3.9, and was able to run FAVA
Take Care

dnjkalnvfjdkln

@dnjkalnvfjdkln

I apologize again for asking for help, I posted this in Beancount-Mode Github, not sure if this would be answered, Can you assist as you did for fava?

I loaded the beancount.el file for emacs
i receive the following issues:

When I try beancount mode: Alt-x beancount-mode I get an error:
(beancount-highlight-transaction-at-point): (void-function beancount-highlight-transaction-at-point)

When I open emacs:
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/family281/.emacs.d/init.el':
