The previous #2153 fix used accountNameTreeFrom, but it turns out this
has always had O(n^2) performance, so our tests with 10k accounts ran
even slower than before. Now it's faster, the main #2153 slowdown
should really be fixed, and other commands which build an account tree
should also be free of this slowdown when there are very many accounts.
When processing costs and equity postings in transactions during
journal finalisation, we now pass just the conversion account name(s)
rather than the entire map of account types. This slowdown was severe
for some users/data/machines.
The code is a bit clearer, and it no longer discards amounts other
than the first when the running balance contains multiple costs.
(This bug was exposed by the fix for #2039).
They are `balances:` for assertion transactions,
`retain:` for retained earnings transactions,
and `start` for opening/closing transactions.
And some --help cleanups.
Hledger.Utils.Debug.traceOrLog was logging when it should trace and vice versa.
This affected a warning which Hledger.Data.Valuation.pricesShortestPath
should display if encountering a pathologically long (>1000) price chain.
Also note some oddities about that warning.
The hledger-web tests have been cleaned up and now allow more testing
of command line options like (though still not everything).
Note tests now run the app listening on its default host and port,
127.0.0.1 and 5000, instead of "any IPv4 or IPv6 hostname" and 3000.
This would seem to mean hledger-web tests can conflict more with
things running on port 5000, eg a normal hledger-web instance, but I
haven't been able to reproduce it.
When reports want to render amounts without commmodity symbols,
they must now use AmountDisplayOpts' new displayCommodity flag.
(Previously it was a side effect of setting displayCommodityOrder.)
Now using type: in account declarations or generating t: with timedot
letters won't cause the `tags` check to fail.
If a user declares any of these explicitly with a tag directive,
it does not cause an error.
Rationale:
To satisfy the recentassertions check I'm often filling in a bunch of
placeholder balance assertions, copy/pasting the correct amount from
the balance assertion failure messages. In this situation the
difference just repeats the amount in the line above, with opposite
sign, which makes it harder for me to interpret the message and to
copy-paste the right amount. And more generally I think showing the
difference isn't really necessary.
- omit balance assertions
- replace more currency symbols, and match within symbols like C$
- do more account validation, and error if conversion is too hard
- backslash-escape double quotes and backslashes in payee and note
That 1.31 change was advertised as being for the print command only,
but it affected all commands. Now it affects only print and other
"print-like" commands (ie all commands that show whole journal entries
that we might want to re-parse).
Also three classes of hledger output, and how they modify the
commodity display styles' digit group marks and decimal marks
to suit different consumers, have been identified and documented
(under REPORTING CONCEPTS).
With valuation now preserving more decimal digits, roi could show
excessively precise decimals if there was no known display precision
for the valuation commodity. Now in that situation it limits the
precision to a maximum of 8 digits.
This and the preceding commits were "work in progress" that got out of control.
There's more to do, but this one brings these precision-related improvements
(at least):
When "infinite decimals" arise, they are now generally shown with
8 decimal digits rather than 255.
print and prices no longer add trailing decimal zeros unnecessarily.
Some code has been refactored or given more debug output.
All tests have been updated to match the recent changes.
- The prices comand now more accurately lists the prices that hledger
uses when calculating value reports (similar to what you'd see with
eg `hledger bal -V --debug=2`).
- The prices command's --infer-reverse-prices flag was confusing since
we always infer and use reverse prices; it has been renamed to --show-reverse.
- --infer-market-prices and --show-reverse combine properly.
- --show-reverse now ignores all zero prices rather than giving an error.
- Reverse prices (which can be infinite decimals) are now displayed
with at most 8 decimal digits (rather than the internal precision of
255 digits).
- Filtering prices by cur: or amt: now works properly.
- Price amounts are styled, but all decimal digits are shown.
Cost/value conversion now applies the standard display style, and
sets the display precision equal to the internal decimal precision
(or 8 if the decimal appears to be infinite).
This means value reports and especially `print -V` now show amounts
with more accurate and standard style and precision.
New tests have been added describing and explaining various
style/precision behaviours in print cost/value reports.
Changes to enable more control of "rounding" behaviour
(ie, choosing display precisions for amounts).
This reverts 1.31's change of asprecision, making it a non-Maybe
again, and adds a new asrounding field providing more control over how
a target display precision is applied to existing amounts (two options
for now, more later). Functionality is in an interim state (reports do
no rounding).
Eg "1,000" (with , as a thousands separator and no decimal digits) is
now displayed with a decimal mark: "1,000.".
"1 000" (where space is a thousands separator) is less ambiguous,
but we do the same thing (eg "1 000.") for consistency, and also to
help disambiguate when forgetting to quote a numeric commodity symbol
(eg "1234 0" where 1234 is a symbol that should have been in double quotes).
