ledreports doesn't work

$LEDGER_ECOSYSTEM_DIR seems to always return . for me in bash

changing alias to this seemed to fix it for me (thanks to stackoverflow)

LEDGER_ECOSYSTEM_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"

edit: by the way, just started with ledger and I am loving your guide. Thank you!

Ledger accounts with spaces brackets inside them cause issue in convert.py

One of my accounts had spaces and then brackets in the name (eg "Assets:8367424(TransactionAcct)". When this is processed in convert.py, it causes an error, because the account is not passed to the ledger command with quotes around the account name. Ie, the variable 'cmd', executed on line 137 of convert.py is of the form "ledger Assets:8367424(TransactionAcct)"
Note that the error does not stop execution - it mainly just ignores lines (unreliability) or doesn't fill the full account name into the final file.
There is usually no error message because the script immediately pulls up a view of the converted files, obscuring any errors written to stdout.

Suggested solution:
Problem is fixed for me If you simply add " around the {} on line 124 (the bit that adds the account name after --account when creating the ledger command, cmd). Tested fixing the spaces, not the brackets.

Convert.py not displaying expected output

Hi

Reading https://rolfschr.github.io/gswl-book/latest.html#Get_data_from_Northbank I expect to see northbank.tmp.txt as described

You should see the data from CSV/apr2042_northbank.csv converted into Ledger's format. The data is stored in ./tmp/northbank.tmp.txt

Now I see

Scrolling inside ledreports

It would be nice if scrolling (using the mouse or using key-strokes) would be possible in the ledreports section as most reports are larger than one screenful.
Totally possible if one configures tmux correctly using

set -g mouse on        #For tmux version 2.1 and up
set -g mode-mouse on   #For tmux versions < 2.1
