When we don't know a file's format, instead of choosing a subset of
readers based on content sniffing, now we just try them all.
Also, LedgerReader is now used only as a last resort,
as it's not yet competitive with JournalReader.
This reader is used by default for files with suffix .ledger or .l,
and tried along with the other readers for files of unknown type.
Currently only the bare minimum of the raw parsed data is used:
transaction dates/descriptions and posting accounts/amounts,
with the rest being ignored.
Amounts are parsed the same way as in the hledger journal format.
Malformed amounts might be ignored instead of error-reported.
* csv rules: Show prettier parsing errors
This goes from
hledger: user error ("ParseError {errorPos = SourcePos {sourceName = \"foo.csv.rules\",
sourceLine = Pos 20, sourceColumn = Pos 1} :| [], errorUnexpected =
fromList [Tokens (' ' :| \"\")], errorExpected = fromList [Label ('b' :| \"lank or comment
line\"),EndOfInput], errorCustom = fromList []}")
to
hledger: user error (foo.csv.rules:20:1:
unexpected space
expecting blank or comment line or end of input
)
* csv rules: Fix parsing of empty field values
A single line containing `account1 ` (note the space at the end) should
parse as assignment of the empty string to account1. At least it did
until commit 4141067.
The problem is that megaparsec's `space` parses multiple space
characters as opposed to parsec. So in the example above it would
incorrectly consume the newline.
This commit also adds a new test case for this bug.
Timeclock transaction ids now count up rather than down.
Also, remove old code for appending timeclock transactions to journal transactions,
a holdover from the days when both were allowed in one file.
Transactions are now numbered consistently during journal finalisation,
rather than just in the journal reader. Also transaction knot-tying has been
moved out of journalBalanceTransactions.
The account transactions report used for hledger-ui and -web registers
now gives either the "period total" or "historical total", depending
strictly on the --historical flag. It doesn't try to tell the user
whether the historical total is the accurate historical balance (which
depends on the report query).
- try to clarify naming and meaning of balance/register report modes
and kinds of "balance" displayed. Added balance --change and
register --cumulative flags to clarify report modes.
- with multiple --change/--cumulative/--historical flags use the last
instead of complaining
- register -A is now affected by -H
- options cleanups
-H/--historical now makes a single-column balance report with a start
date show historical balances reflecting earlier postings. This is
equivalent to specifying no start date, but it's more consistent.
The account transactions report (and eg hledger-ui's register screen) no
longer aborts showing historical balances when -E/--empty/nonzero mode
or cur: are in effect.
* Replace Parsec with Megaparsec (see #289)
This builds upon PR #289 by @rasendubi
* Revert renaming of parseWithState to parseWithCtx
* Fix doctests
* Update for Megaparsec 5
* Specialize parser to improve performance
* Pretty print errors
* Swap StateT and ParsecT
This is necessary to get the correct backtracking behavior, i.e. discard
state changes if the parsing fails.
Clarify the account transactions report, and don't change original transactions' dates.
Show a more accurate date in hledger-ui and hledger-web's account registers
when postings have their own dates. This is now called the "transaction register date":
the date which is displayed for that transaction in a register for some current account
and filter query. It is either the transaction date from the journal ("transaction general date"),
or if postings to the current account and matched by the register's filter query have
their own dates, the earliest of those dates.
With --debug=2, better information about assertions is printed.
Balance assertion errors now have a more standard and parseable layout.
The asserted balance is now shown with the diff, let's see if that's better.
Two fixes for this report when --real/--cleared/real:/status: are in effect,
affecting hledger-ui and possibly hledger-web:
1. exclude transactions which affect the current account via an excluded posting type.
Eg when --real is in effect, a transaction posting to the current account with only
virtual postings will not appear in the report.
2. when showing historical balances, don't count excluded posting types in the
starting balance. Eg with --real, the starting balance will be the sum of only the
non-virtual prior postings.
This is complicated and there might be some ways to confuse it still, causing
wrongly included/excluded transactions or wrong historical balances/running totals
(transactions with both real and virtual postings to the current account, perhaps ?)
