opening accounts in plugin not working consistently with Fava

[nug get]

Hi all

anyone has the right tip for me?

I made a plugin here that takes any single expense or income transaction and spreads it out over a given time period. I.e. it converts my yearly vehicle insurance payment into monthly expenses, such that the effect on my net worth is smooth across 12 months.

This involves opening receivables and liabilities accounts, which the plugin does for me. This works well with Fava initially. 

However when I modify some transactions in the source and reload fava , the open-statements seem to get lost, causing lots of Errors

for exactly those accounts that had been opened by the plugin.

Restarting Fava resolves the issue until the next live file change.

Thanks for any hints how to make this work properly. Please Find cookbook examples below.

Thanks,

add the plugin in you leger file with

plugin "drnukebean.plugins.spreading" "{'liability_acc_base': 'Assets:Receivables:'}"

and use it for a transaction

2021-12-28 * "insurance" "vehicle insurance 2022"

  p_spreading_frequency: "M"

  p_spreading_start: "2022-01-01"

  p_spreading_times: "12"

  Expenses:Insurance                                 100.00 CHF

  Assets:Checkings
