[Feature] Use implicit prices #77

Closed putzwasser closed 2 years ago

putzwasser commented 2 years ago

Fava currently doesn't use the price information provided in postings:

plugin "beancount.plugins.implicit_prices"
2000-01-01 * "" "Buy new Asset"
  Assets:Investments:MyNewAsset                                  1 NEWASSET {1000 USD} @ 1000 USD
  Assets:Cash

Will lead to fava exiting, as there is no explicit price directive.

You need to explicitly add a price directive for NEWASSET:

plugin "beancount.plugins.implicit_prices"
2000-01-01 * "" "Buy new Asset"
  Assets:Investments:MyNewAsset                                  1 NEWASSET {1000 USD} @ 1000 USD
  Assets:Cash

2000-01-01 price NEWASSET 1000 USD

I update some assets more or less only via the „implicit“ price directive syntax that beancount provides. It would be nice, if fava_investor would make use of the data.

I'm unable to reproduce this. Implicit prices works fine, and I use it all the time. Could you please post a complete, minimal example?

Closing this as: unable to reproduce. Feel free to reopen with a test case.
