Currency held in assets disappears

[Jorge Martínez López]

Hi all,

I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with updating old prices using
bean-price. The main problem is that from 2019-05-03 onwards
bean-price does not fetch the USD/GBP currency.

I can't really explain why because the only transactions I see on
those days are in GBP and one of the Asset accounts has funds in USD.

This is the bean-price output for both days (omitted some non-relevant
currencies).

bean-price --date 2019-05-03 --dry-run --clear-cache -vv main.beancount

This is how my commodities are defined:

2002-01-01 commodity EUR
export: "CASH"
name: "Euro"
price: "GBP:yahoo/EURGBP=X"
asset-class: "cash"

1792-04-02 commodity USD
export: "CASH"
name: "US Dollar"
price: "GBP:yahoo/GBP=X"
asset-class: "cash"

My main operating currency is GBP, I hold accounts in EUR and USD, so
my main goal is to be able to "convert to GBP" using Fava. Do I need
to define a GBP commodity as well?

How do I troubleshoot this further?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Jorge
