Fiat currency conversions not recognised

[russbrenner]

Appears as though fiats that were working in a prior release are no longer recognised.

Have verified they appear in active_currencies.

Running latest 3.2 from git. Removed workflow + leftover files, restarted Alfred, reinstalled, same result.

FIAT symbols tried from USD: AUD, NZD, ZAR.

Screenshots attached.

What does the log file say? (Use conv workflow:openlog to open it.)

I'm guessing it's because you haven't set APP_KEY.

I have similar issue - and I've entered the valid APP_KEY.
For example conv 100 eur usd
unknown unit

Same here, @deanishe here's the log file:

16:26:17 convert.py:315 CRITICAL invalid query (100usd eur): Unknown unit: eur
16:26:23 convert.py:315 CRITICAL invalid query (100usd aud): Unknown unit: aud
16:26:26 convert.py:315 CRITICAL invalid query (100usd gbp): Unknown unit: gbp
16:26:33 convert.py:315 CRITICAL invalid query (100usd nzd): Unknown unit: nzd

Commands I tried were:

conv 100usd eur
conv 100usd aud
conv 100usd gbp
conv 100usd nzd

OK, my bad. I forgot that first currency has to be joined with the value.
conv 100usd eur works.

So for others that have this problem setup openexchange api key in configuration.

It doesn't. It's likely the workflow updated the exchange rates at some point after you added APP_KEY.

Same here, @deanishe here's the log file:

@eduwass, that's not enough. Please post all log messages for an entire run where you're getting the error.

[deanishe]

NOTE: The workflow caches exchange rates for several hours. If you've set APP_KEY and can't convert currencies, that's most likely because the old list of exchange rates that doesn't include any fiat currencies hasn't expired yet.

To force a refresh, enter conv workflow:delcache in Alfred.

[eduwass]

@deanishe that conv workflow:delcache did the trick, thanks! 👍

[deanishe]

v3.2.1 will clear cached exchange rates when you set APP_KEY and immediately download new rates.
