Asset Allocation Classes-- TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'int' about fava_investor HOT 3 CLOSED

This casting should not be required. Casting is likely hiding your true problem. And hmm, postings to Assets:Zero-Sum-Accounts:Transfers may not be related at all. The unknown warning occurs when your commodity metatadata is not fully filled out, or non-existent for a certain commodity. See here.

The only requirement is that the metadata field name begins with the prefix asset_allocation_, and has a number for its value that is a percentage, corresponding to the percentage of the commodity belonging to that asset class. The set of all asset classes for a commodity should add up to a 100. When they do not, the reporter will pad the remaining with the 'unknown' class.

Check and let me know if that solved it?

Yep all solved. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'int'

I actually had some asset_allocation defined in my commodities file as str accidentally (e.g. asset_allocation_x "100" instead of asset_allocation_x 100).

Very embarrassing.

Great! Thanks for sharing the issue too. Heh, while it's awesome that Beancount allows arbitrary metadata types, I've tripped up these a few times myself. The code should probably catch this exception and provide a helpful warning to the user (eg: "Your metadata turned out to be a string, while an integer was expected" rather than just a stack trace. Will do at some point.
