debugging importer

[nug get]

Dear all,
how can I debug an importer?
I got the example from https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/src/default/examples/ingest/office/ working, but transferring this to my Bank's (DKB) statements using https://github.com/siddhantgoel/beancount-dkb leaves me with only the header line ";; -*- mode: beancount -*-" 

I think I understood all of siddhant's code and how it follows the structure of the bank statement. 

I tried to reverse-engineer what bean-extract is doing exactly, but this is so far more tideous than my current time constrains :)
Thanks for any hint!

Hi,

First step is to use bean-identify. If that doesn't produce an importer for the file you have selected, then it's likely the something like the configuration does not specify a filename regular expression and therefore the csv can not be matched to an importer.

If you really fancy "debugging" an importer an IDE like PyCharm let me know and I can send over some pointers.

Search for 'def extract' in siddhanth's importer, and insert a few print statements there to get started.

Thanks to both of you, you made me look at the right places. I had to slightly adjust the expected header format.  I got it working, finally! yey!
