Noticed by peti: showTransaction could sometimes hide the last posting's
amount even if one of the other posting amounts was already implcit,
producing invalid transaction output.
* journal: Get rid of `journalFinalise` and use granular functions
Complete the process started in 53b3e2bd. This gets rid of the
`journalFinalise` function and uses the smaller steps, in order to
have more granular control.
* journal: Change order of operations in finalization
We want to make sure that we add the filepath after the order is
reversed, so the added filepath is on the head and not the tail (as it
would be if it were reversed after it was added).
* journal: Refine granular finalization functions
This commit fixes two of the granular finalization functions:
1. Rename `journalSetTime` to `journalSetLastReadTime` and improve
documentation.
2. Remove `journalSetFilePath`. It's redundant with `journalAddFile`
currently in `Hledger.Read.Common`. The only difference between the
functions is where the file is added (we keep the one in which it
is added to the tail), so we change the position vis-a-vis
reversal.
`journalFinalise` is only used in the `parseAndFinaliseJournal`
functions, but it needs to be run differently at different stages when
transaction modifiers are applied. This change breaks it into smaller
functions, and uses those smaller parts in `parseAndFinaliseJournal`
as needed.
Currently `journalFinalise` always reverses the order of
entries. However, if there are automated transactions, we might need
to run it twice. This adds a boolean flag to make reordering
optional. This will be used in the `parseAndFinaliseJournal`
functions.
These commands now detect the account types declared by account directives.
Whenever such declarations are not present, built-in regular expressions
are used, as before.
Previously you had to use one of the standard english account names
(assets, liabilities..) for top-level accounts, if you wanted to use
the bs/bse/cf/is commands.
Now, account directives can specify which of the big five categories
an account belongs to - asset, liability, equity, revenue or expense -
by writing one of the letters A, L, E, R or X two or more spaces after
the account name (where the numeric account code used to be).
This might change. Some thoughts influencing the current syntax:
- easy to type and read
- does not require multiple lines
- does not depend on any particular account numbering scheme
- allows more types later if needed
- still anglocentric, but only a little
- could be treated as syntactic sugar for account tags later
- seems to be compatible with (ignored by) current Ledger
The current design permits unlimited account type declarations anywhere
in the account tree. So you could declare a liability account somewhere
under assets, and maybe a revenue account under that, and another asset
account even further down. In such cases you start to see oddities like
accounts appearing in multiple places in a tree-mode report. In theory
the reports will still behave reasonably, but this has not been tested
too hard. In any case this is clearly too much freedom. I have left it
this way, for now, in case it helps with:
- modelling contra accounts ?
- multiple files. I suspect the extra expressiveness may come in handy
when combining multiple files with account type declarations,
rewriting account names, apply parent accounts etc.
If we only allowed type declarations on top-level accounts, or
only allowed a single account of each type, complications seem likely.
- In anticipation of megaparsec 7, which removes support for stacks of
include files (as far as I can tell)
- Intended for the 'StateT Journal' layer of the parser
- A stack of include files would be better in a 'ReaderT' layer, but I
don't want to add another layer to the parser
- Intended for detecting cycles of include files
- Potential issue: for proper error messages for include file cycles,
we must remember to provide the filepath of the root journal file via
the initial journal state passed to a 'JournalParser'; I imagine
that we may forget to do so because in all other cases it is okay
not to do so.
A bunch of account sorting changes that got intermingled.
First, account codes have been dropped. They can still be parsed and
will be ignored, for now. I don't know if anyone used them.
Instead, account display order is now controlled by the order of account
directives, if any. From the mail list:
I'd like to drop account codes, introduced in hledger 1.9 to control
the display order of accounts. In my experience,
- they are tedious to maintain
- they duplicate/compete with the natural tendency to arrange account
directives to match your mental chart of accounts
- they duplicate/compete with the tree structure created by account
names
and it gets worse if you think about using them more extensively,
eg to classify accounts by type.
Instead, I plan to just let the position (parse order) of account
directives determine the display order of those declared accounts.
Undeclared accounts will be displayed after declared accounts,
sorted alphabetically as usual.
Second, the various account sorting modes have been implemented more
widely and more correctly. All sorting modes (alphabetically, by account
declaration, by amount) should now work correctly in almost all commands
and modes (non-tabular and tabular balance reports, tree and flat modes,
the accounts command). Sorting bugs have been fixed, eg #875.
Only the budget report (balance --budget) does not yet support sorting.
Comprehensive functional tests for sorting in the accounts and balance
commands have been added. If you are confused by some sorting behaviour,
studying these tests is recommended, as sorting gets tricky.
Custom Show instances were obscuring important details in test failure
output again. The best policy seems to be: stick with default derived
Show instances as far as possible, but when necessary customize them
to conform to haskell syntax so pretty-show can do its thing (eg when
they contain Day values, cf https://github.com/haskell/time/issues/101).
This makes skipping/unskipping tests easier, and improves readability
a bit.
Note it's also possible to just write the test name with no preceding
function, when the type is constrained (see Journal.hs).
Amount's default show instance hid important details, making eg test
failures hard to understand. Showing full detail required increasing
the debug level which was inconvenient.
Now it has a single show instance which shows more information, is
fairly compact, and is pretty-printable with pretty-show.
Ellipses (..) in the output indicate where fields are
- not shown in full detail, and/or
- shown in pseudo syntax (double quoted) to work with pretty-show.
ghci> usd 1
OLD:
Amount {acommodity="$", aquantity=1.00, ..}
NEW:
Amount {acommodity = "$", aquantity = 1.00, aprice = NoPrice, astyle = AmountStyle "L False 2 Just '.' Nothing..", amultiplier = False}
MixedAmount's show instance is unchanged, but showMixedAmountDebug
is affected by this change:
ghci> putStrLn $ showMixedAmountDebug $ Mixed [usd 1]
OLD:
Mixed [Amount {acommodity="$", aquantity=1.00, aprice=, astyle=AmountStyle {ascommodityside = L, ascommodityspaced = False, asprecision = 2, asdecimalpoint = Just '.', asdigitgroups = Nothing}}]
NEW:
Mixed [Amount {acommodity="$", aquantity=1.00, aprice=, astyle=AmountStyle "L False 2 Just '.' Nothing.."}]
This removes transactionModifierToFunction's extra query parameter;
the rewrite command sets it in the TransactionModifier instead, which
I think is equivalent. I had to change one functional test, but it
seems correct now, so perhaps it wasn't working right before ?
For Data/Dates.hs in particular:
- Changed `SimpleTextParser` to `TextParser m` for all parsers
- Changed `string` to the case-insensitive `string'` to match the
behaviour of `T.toLower` found in `parsePeriodExpr`
- export `periodexprp` for "direct" use
base-compat-batteries provides the same API across more ghc versions
than base-compat does, at the cost of more dependencies. Eg it exports
Prelude.Compat ((<>)) with ghc 7.10/base 4.8, which we expect.
My belief is that several of our deps already require it so the added
cost is not too great. We should probably go back to base-compat when
possible though, eg when we stop supporting ghc 7.10.
The new version of our package set apparently contains both base-compat and
base-compat-batteries in its transitive closure. This breaks the doctest suite,
which just imports everything into scope when the tests are run, thereby making
module names like Prelude.Compat ambiguous.
It now works slightly differently. Eg:
- <unbudgeted>'s subaccounts are hidden by default
- --show-unbudgeted shows all unbudgeted accounts, including subaccounts of budgeted parents
- --show-unbudgeted doesn't affect the grouping under <unbudgeted>
IMHO it's a nice simplification and increase in consistency, while still meeting the original intent.
A commodity directive that doesn't specify the decimal point character
increases ambiguity and the chance of misparsing numbers, especially
as it overrides all style information inferred from the journal amounts.
In some cases it caused amounts with a decimal point to be parsed as if
with a digit group separator so 1.234 became 1234.
We could augment it with extra info from the journal amounts, when available,
but it would still be possible to be ambiguous, and that won't be obvious.
A commodity directive is what we recommend to nail down the style.
It seems the simple and really only way to do this reliably is to require
an explicit decimal point character. Most folks probably do this already.
Unfortunately, it makes another potential incompatiblity with ledger and
beancount journals. But the error message will be clear and easy to
work around.
Inferred amounts now have the appropriate standard amount style applied.
And when checking for balanced transactions, amount styles declared with
commodity directives are also used (previously only inferred amount styles were).
Now we have:
-- | Sorted unique account names posted to by this journal's transactions.
journalAccountNamesUsed :: Journal -> [AccountName]
-- | Sorted unique account names implied by this journal's transactions -
-- accounts posted to and all their implied parent accounts.
journalAccountNamesImplied :: Journal -> [AccountName]
-- | Sorted unique account names declared by account directives in this journal.
journalAccountNamesDeclared :: Journal -> [AccountName]
-- | Sorted unique account names declared by account directives or posted to
-- by transactions in this journal.
journalAccountNamesDeclaredOrUsed :: Journal -> [AccountName]
-- | Sorted unique account names declared by account directives, or posted to
-- or implied as parents by transactions in this journal.
journalAccountNamesDeclaredOrImplied :: Journal -> [AccountName]
-- | Convenience/compatibility alias for journalAccountNamesImpliedOrUsed.
journalAccountNames :: Journal -> [AccountName]
accountsFromPostings is currently doing excessive work when adding up
postings in each account. It sorts (accountName, amount) tuples which
cause amounts in them to be compared. There is no need to look at amount
here at all since subsequent summing up and counting does not depend on
order. It is enough to sort by accountname only.
Went through similar pieces of code, made them all look uniform.
- Simplify doctests for periodexpr.
- Besides consuming leading space consume ending space for periodexpr also.
- Drop implicit option (def, def) behaviour of periodexpr. I.e. disallow
hledger reg -p '' and auto-transaction with heading just '~'.
- Slightly re-factor periodexpr.
- Ensure that reportinginterval doesn't consume trailing space.
Useful if we'll start disallowing periods like "every1stjan2009-".
This is very helpful for periodic transactions, because in budget mode
you need to ensure that no periodic transactions extend past the end
of the journal, and in forecast mode you need to make sure that all
periodic transactions are strictly after the end of the journal.
Some of these demonstrate that runPeriodicTransaction could generate
transactions ouside of requested DateSpan. This happens because
runPeriodicTransaction uses splitSpan internally, and splitSpan always
generates dateSpans that fully cover original DateSpan, extending
beyound left/right boundary if necessary. This is ok if transactions
are generated for budgeting purpose, but during forecasting care should
be taken to check that all generated transactions are happening past
the end of the real journal.
Currently only lower-case account names are supported, both on the
command line, and in the journal (in periodic transactions):
This works:
$ hledger balance -p nov
This does not:
$ hledger balance -p Nov
First transaction will parse, second will not:
```
cat every-month.journal ~/devel/haskell/darcs-get/hledger/examples
~ aug to sep
assets
expenses $1
~ Aug to Sep
assets
expenses $2
```
$../bin/hledger-budget bal -f every-month.journal
hledger-budget: Failed to parse "Aug to Sep": date parse error ()
This commit fixes both cases.
Add "fixed" to the regex used to exclude asset accounts from cashflow
reports. Assumes accounts are set up something like:
assets:fixed assets:equipment
assets:fixed assets:vehicles
assets:fixed assets:buildings
Older megaparsec is still supported.
Also cleans up our custom parser types,
and some text (un)packing is done in different places
(possible performance impact).
The new entry effectively adds a loan which is placed in the checking account.
This loan is then closed by the "pay off" transaction (which was already
present).
This is mainly to be used as a test point for the -H option; to make
sure -H does not show empty accounts.
All previous tests were changed to reflect the new change.
The documentation of the journal module was updated too.
See the issue and linked mail list discussion. Ambiguity between the
uncleared state, and the "not cleared" --uncleared flag causes confusion
and friction. At this point it seems best to break with Ledger and
past hledger, pick a new name and drop --uncleared to put an end to it.
Related to #563, when rendering a transaction, we reserve two more chars
of width so that amounts remain aligned when there are posting flags.
Affects hledger-ui's transaction screen, print, hledger-rewrite etc.
This affects hledger-ui's transaction screen, print, hledger-rewrite etc.
A pending flag on postings is now displayed, just like a cleared flag.
Also there will now be a space between flag and account name.
And it's slightly better at aligning amounts, due to now considering
virtual posting parentheses/brackets or something.
When generating a new posting as a multiple of an existing posting,
support conversion to a different commodity. For example, postings in
hours can be used to generate postings in USD.
Automatic transactions generated from rewrite rules use the commodity,
amount style, and transaction price if the rewrite defines a commodity.
The balance command now shows negative amounts in red, when it thinks
ANSI codes are supported, ie when TERM is not "dumb" and stdout is not
being redirected or piped somewhere.
* added showMarketPrice and Hledger.Data.MarketPrice module
* showMarketPrice implemented using showDate
* attempted to add tests to Hledger.Data.MarketPrice
* moved MarketPrice test to Hledger.Read.JournalReader; fixed documentation on MarketPrice; added MarketPrice module to package.yaml
* cli: fix bug in pivot for postings without tag
Without this fix for postings without tag query checked effective
account which is always empty text ("").
* rewrite: inherit dates, change application order
For budgeting it is important to inherit actual date of posting if it
differs from date of transaction. These dates will be added
as a separate line of comment.
More natural order of rewrites is when result of first defined one is
available for all next rewrites.
* rewrite: factor out Hledger.Data.AutoTransaction
* rewrite: add diff output
With this option you can modify your original files without loosing
inter-transaction comments etc. I.e. you can run:
hledger-rewrite --diff Agency \
--add-posting 'Expenses:Taxes *0.17' \
| patch
As result multiple files should be updated.
Also it is nice to review your changes using colordiff instead of
patch.
* lib: track source lines range for journal
* doc: auto entries and diff output for rewrite
