-# NOTE some issues with these tests:
-# 
-# The final cleanup command is chained with && so as not to mask hledger's exit code,
-# but this means a temp file is left behind whenever hledger fails. What TODO ?
-#
-# The stderr regex tests don't tell us much, as the CSV reader always gives that output.
-# They'll cause stderr to be displayed if the CSV reader doesn't run at all,
-# which is slightly better than nothing.

 # These tests read CSV from stdin for convenience, so to ensure we get the CSV reader's
