Indices do not update

[KhaineBOT]

Steps undertaken

1. Add an index to Investoscope (i.e. ^AXJO)
2. Run Investoscope-easy-update
3. Confirmed that index is not up to date

Expected behaviour Indicies in Investoscope are updated to reflect EOD price index

Steps to reproduce

1. Add an index to Investoscope (i.e. ^AXJO)
2. Run Investoscope-easy-update
3. Review data and confirm that index information has not been updated

See this thread which isn't resolved but I understand is intended behaviour. I just delete the state.p file which then updates the instruments...I suspect that would also solve your issue, at the expense of downloading more data and hitting the server's more.

I don't think it is related to that as the index has no data. I can see that the csv file has up to date information, but it isn't being loaded into the index

This is what is in the csv file:

Oh apologies I hadn't clocked this was an index not an instrument. I don't rely on these so am not sure if they are meant to work.

There could be a bug in the process that results in the historic data not being downloaded here. I'll have a look at this when the opportunity arises.

I've confirmed that the data is downloaded, and that the AppleScript you use can update indices

The next step is for me to validate that the csv file created is actually used to push the data into Investoscope as it is named idx_GDAXI_yv2.csv

Okay. The script doesn't pick up all indices, however for the ones it does, they are updated (kinda). This is the listing that it picks up

Updating: ^IXTR Nasdaq Transportation Updating: ^NYL NYSE World Leaders Updating: ^AXJO S&P/ASX 200 Updating: ^MID S&P 400 Midcap Index Updating: ^NDX Nasdaq-100 (Drm) Updating: ^IXUT Nasdaq Telecommunications Updating: ^GDAXI DAX Updating: ^IXIS Nasdaq Insurance Updating: ^NY NYSE US 100 Updating: ^OEX S&P 100 Index Updating: ^IXBK Nasdaq Bank Updating: ^IXIC Nasdaq Composite Updating: ^NYI NYSE International 100 Updating: ^NYA NYSE Composite Index Updating: ^IXK Nasdaq Computer Updating: ^DJI Dow Jones Industrial Average In Updating: ^IXF Nasdaq Financial 100 Updating: ^IXID Nasdaq Industrial Updating: ^NYY NYSE TMT Updating: ^IXFN Nasdaq Other Finance Updating: ^AORD S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Updating: ^NBI Nasdaq Biotechnology (Drm)

This is what I have listed as indices

If I look at one that is in the listing like the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries, it does update the historical data, however the last price and latest trade are not updated

This to me, indicates that the script would need to be enhanced to also update the extra fields of an index (i.e. latest trade, latest price). I also need to look into why not every index is pulled into the script.
