Help getting plugin running

[Ken Mankoff]

Hello,

I'm having difficulty getting the amortize_over plugin to run. I've put this script https://gist.github.com/wzyboy/7dbf207c9a9d42ac2549232deb9a95d9

into a plugins folder under my beancount folder.

I have added

option "insert_pythonpath" "True"
plugin "plugins.amortize_over"

And a transaction:

2024-12-15 * "Misc Cash Spending"
    amortize_months: 6
    Assets:Cash:USD                                       -60.00 USD
    Expenses:Misc

But no additional entries appear in the Fava journal. Should I be looking elsewhere?

At the CLI I was able to import the plugin with:

mamba activate beantcount

fava ./bc.org &

python

>>> import plugins.amortize_over # no errors here.

Thanks,

    -k.

Hello,

I figured out why the plugin was not working. I had an "include setup.bc" and the plugin, and other options. Plugins do not load from included files, only from the main target of fava or bean-query.

-k.
