unable to create investment

[Jochen Schmid]

Hi,

Kmymoney 5.0.0 and 5.0.1
Ubuntu 18.04

If I try to create a new investment in my investment account, kmymoney
raises the error message

Stock account cannot be parent account caugt in
/build/kmymoney-8tb1zm/kmymoney-5.0.1/kmymoney/my money/mymoney
file.cpp:1059

5.0.1 has been built to try if the most recent release probably fixed
the problem (no).
Seems that Ubuntu 18.04 already has 5.0.1 even if "about" says
"Version 5.0.0".

Help needed, I'm not able to invest...

Thank you for pointing me to that issue.
A fwe minutes ago I built kmymoney from master.
"Couldn't find any plugin for opening storage."
Seems that I have to wait for the next release.

Not really, this is working. For some reason, KMyMoney cannot find the plugins or they are not activated. Did you install KMyMoney in your KDE system tree? Anything else might be a bit of trouble. On my openSUSE system I need to set

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to /usr and
KDE_INSTALL_PLUGINDIR to /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins

then do

make
sudo make install

before I can use it. The locations may differ for your distro.

Before you tweak that, please make sure you see the XML storage plugin in Settings/Configure KMM/Plugins and it is activated.

Hope that helps

In Ubuntu 18.04 it's /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins

I have had the prefix set to /usr/local to avoid conflicts with the
distro version of kmymoney.

Prefix /usr finally worked. Adding new investments works.

Thank you for your help.

It is also possible to set QT_PLUGIN_PATH to point to the actual
location of the plugins.  The seems to be the main (but not only)
change/setting to run KMM from the install dir for testing without
messing with a system installed version.

Does not really work. It compiles o.k. but refuses to open a file:
"Couldn't find any plugin for opening storage."

Seems that I have to wait for the next release.
