I'm a total newbie to RP2 and DaLI (and have very limited experience with Python), but found a problem while trying to set it up today..

On the DaLI website, under section "Running", it says the following:

Finally compute taxes with RP2 using the generated input files (using both FIFO and LIFO accounting methods):

rp2_us -m fifo -o output/ -p rp2_ output/test_crypto_data.config output/test_crypto_data.ods rp2_us -m lifo -o output/ -p rp2_ output/test_crypto_data.config output/test_crypto_data.ods

Executing this on Windows 10 returns an error, saying that it could not find a file named "output/test_crypto_data.config".

This is because, (at least on Windows), the config file generated by DaLI was named "output/test_crypto_data.ini". (The filetype was ".ini" not ".config").

Replacing ".config" with ".ini" allowed it to run on my installation, which was installed using "pip".

eg:

rp2_us -m fifo -o output/ -p rp2_ output/test_crypto_data.ini output/test_crypto_data.ods rp2_us -m lifo -o output/ -p rp2_ output/test_crypto_data.ini output/test_crypto_data.ods

Thanks for reporting! I think you may be using an outdated version of the documentation. Check the latest version on Github: https://github.com/eprbell/dali-rp2?tab=readme-ov-file#running

Here's a screenshot:

Thanks for the quick reply.

The URL that has the old info is: https://pypi.org/project/dali-rp2/#running

I ended up there by following the link on the DaLI-RP2 main GitHub page, which says:

Download The latest version of DaLI can be downloaded at: https://pypi.org/project/dali-rp2/

I see now that the two are out of sync.

Ah, got it. This means I need to make a new official release for Pypi: there have been several bug fixes and improvements so I need to do that. I'll try in the weekend. Thanks again for reporting!

I'm closing this as it looks like this issue is resolved. Please let us know if you need further help.
