Xirr.configure does not work

[dennym]

config/initalizer/xirr.rb

Xirr.configure do |config|
  config.period = 5000
end

Entering the rails console and checking Xirr::PERIOD its still the default value 365.

rails 5.2

Xirr.configure { |c| c.period = 5000 } does work — it sets Xirr.config.period, and new cashflows use it. The value you were checking, Xirr::PERIOD, is a frozen constant holding the original default; it's intentionally not changed by configure. Read the live value with Xirr.config.period. v1.0.0's config documentation now spells out this distinction. (#36)
