Balances 0

[smseidl]

I just got the software to run after getting pynYNAB installed, but all my category balances in the email are 0. Any ideas?

I've been able to track down the issue a bit. The problem is that none of the entities_monthly_subcategory_budget_id are containing the current month. They are only containing the first few months that I started nYNAB, but the most recent 3 or 4 months.

if b.entities_monthly_subcategory_budget_id[4:11]==(datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m')): - this is never true.

I'm thinking that this for loop is wrong, but haven't figured out the functions/collections available to use instead. for b in client.budget.be_monthly_subcategory_budget_calculations:

Hum, that's interesting.

The client.budget.be_monthly_subcategory_budget_calculations is a collection of all your budget calculations, broken up by year and month. IDs for those monthly calculations look like this:

mcb/2016-11/*GUID* so that if statement is only looking at the date part of that ID and matching it to the current date.

It looks like for some reason pynYNAB isn't returning all of your subcategories. Do you have your budget name set correctly in the settings file? If you had originally used the default 'My Budget' name and then renamed it later, maybe it would only pull from those original months?

You can try running the following script to see all of the subcategories you're getting back from pynYNAB to see when they are cutting off:

from pynYNAB.Client import nYnabClient
from pynYNAB.connection import nYnabConnection

ynabUser = #TYPE YOUR USERNAME HERE
ynabPassword = #TYPE YOUR PASSWORD HERE
ynabBudgetName = #TYPE YOUR BUDGET NAME HERE, MIGHT NOT BE 'My Budget' 

print('Getting YNAB info')

connection = nYnabConnection(ynabUser, ynabPassword)
connection.init_session()
client = nYnabClient(nynabconnection=connection, budgetname=ynabBudgetName)

print('Printing category IDs')

for b in client.budget.be_monthly_subcategory_budget_calculations:
        print(b.entities_monthly_subcategory_budget_id)

Attached you will find the output of the script you posted.

Also, the setting files, I have the budget name set to exactly the same thing that shows in the nYNAB open budget screen. It may have been named something earlier, but I can't remember for sure.

I cannot reproduce that problem with my own ynab account. All subcategories are returned for all months. I'll try to debug that with you in the other issue
