Hey, I have another question: Is it possible that transactions which should have a net-0-balance are wrongly taken into account as cash flows? I have a stock which was merged with another (so the value didn't change), but the relative value halved at that date. If the exchange transaction is understood as an influx of money, this makes sense, but it's still wrong. Have you seen this behavior before?

To be honest I never tested it with a stock merge (never occurred in my private ledger so far), only with stock splits. Does beangrow handle this properly?

Good question... How would I test that? I'm running everything in Docker and couldn't find a way to interact with beangrow directly.

beangrow-returns ledger.beancount beangrow.pbtxt output

should generate PDF reports and save them in the output folder. If you've installed it in docker, maybe try docker exec <container> beangrow-returns ...

Unfortunately, that crashes with an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/app/bin/beangrow-returns", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/app/lib/python3.9/site-packages/beangrow/compute_returns.py", line 100, in main
    reports.write_price_directives(path.join(output_prices, "prices.beancount"),
  File "/app/lib/python3.9/site-packages/beangrow/reports.py", line 411, in write_price_directives
    days_late = (required_date - actual_date).days
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'datetime.date' and 'NoneType'

Do I need to set more parameters?

That sounds like an error in beangrow or a malformed ledger, maybe you can open an issue for beangrow.

fava-portfolio-returns works fine with this ledger, however. Is this expected?

This seems to be solved with the rewrite as well. Thank you very much!
