reqAccountUpdates portfolioValue returning wrong results

[fmair]

Description

I have a position of 10 SPY shares in my paper trading portfolio. They were bought at 411.55 and now have a market value of 4173.40 (roughly). When I run reqAccountUpdates and twsPortfolioValue the results do not match. It seems like all entries are shifted by one row. (see entries below "portfolioValue" in the list below). Also the output for twsPortfolioValue is not correct.

Edit: I just tested it and the functions show the expected behavior when using the current CRAN version IBrokers_0.9-12.

Expected behavior

reqAccountUpdates should return the current positions of the portfolio including position sizes.

Minimal, reproducible example

x <- reqAccountUpdates(conn, subscribe = T, acctCode = "1")
> twsPortfolioValue(x, zero.pos=T)[2, ]
  local sectype marketValue averageCost return position realizedPNL unrealizedPNL
2   SPY     STK     417.344          NA     NA       NA       57.91      411.5534

Session Info

I've loaded some private packages, hence I'd prefer not to share my session info. However, these don't interfere with IBrokers. I'm using Windows 10 x64 and running IB TWS Build 981.2z, Apr 13 2021.

IBrokers_0.10-1

The problem persists with the current CRAN-version 0.10-1 and TWS Build 10.15.1d, Apr 5, 2022 and comes from the way reqAccountUpdates handles the messages (msg[12]).
