This feature turns out to be quite involved, as valuation interacts
with the many report variations. Various bugs/specs have been
fixed/clarified relating to register's running total, balance totals
etc. Eg register's total should now be the sum of the posting amount
values, not the values of the original sums. Current level of support
has been documented.
When valuing at transaction date, we once again do early valuation of
all posting amounts, to get more correct results. variants. This means
--value-at=t can be slower than other valuation modes when there are
many transactions and many prices. This could be revisited for
optimisation when things are more settled.
We need this for choosing a valuation date, otherwise, report
functions would have to be in IO or we'd have to pass in yet another
argument.
It's optional because it's useful to be able to create report opts
purely (I think ?) This is not ideal but maybe not a problem.
Instead of converting all journal amounts to value early on, we now
convert just the report amounts to value, before rendering.
This was basically how it originally worked (for the balance command),
but now it's built in to the four basic reports used by print,
register, balance and their variants - Entries, Postings, Balance,
MultiBalance - each of which now has its own xxValue helper.
This should mostly fix -V's performance when there are many
transactions and prices (the price lookups could still be optimised),
and allow more flexibility for report-specific value calculations.

There's one new limitation, not yet resolved: -V once again can pick a
valuation date in the future, if no report end date is specified and
the journal has future-dated transactions. We prefer to avoid that,
but reports currently are pure and don't have access to today's date.
-V is still quite a bit slower than no -V, but not as much as before:

I needed to be more careful about ordering, as johannesgerer's original
code was, and the tests missed it. I think I have it now.
Found the PR whose code I have been reworking, it was #438.
Hopefully this is will do it. This restores the past behaviour:
- parsing prices in balance assertions/assignments
- ignoring them in assertions
- using them in assignments
- and printing them
and clarifies tests and docs.
Going with option 1b from the issue: calculated and asserted amounts
are compared exactly, disregarding display precision.
But now balance assertion failure messages show those exact amounts at
full precision, avoiding confusion.
Surprisingly, balance assertions were checking to maximum precision,
which meant it was possible, with a display-precision-limiting
commodity directive, to have a failing assertion with the error
message showing asserted and actual amounts that looked the same.
Now we round the calculated account balance (but not the asserted
balance) to display precision before comparing. This should ensure
assertions always behave as you would expect from visual inspection.
This should eventually include accountnames from transaction
modifiers (if `--auto` is enabled), or periodic transactions (if
`--forecast` is enabled).
- parse a period expression by first extracting words separated by
single spaces, then by "re-parsing" this text with 'periodexprp'
- this way, the period expression parsers do not need to know about
the single- or double-space rules
A different approach: instead of converting to unit prices and fiddling
with the display precision, just multiply the total prices by the same
multiplier (and keep them positive).
This seems a little more natural. I'm not sure if one of these will be
more robust than the other.
Divide/multiply amounts *and* their total price, if they have one.
Helpful for keeping transactions balanced when transaction modifiers are
multiplying amounts.
Transaction modifier multipliers have never multiplied total-priced amounts
correctly (and prior to hledger 1.10, this could generate unbalanced
transactions).
Now, the generated postings in this situation will have unit prices,
and an extra digit of display precision. This helps ensure that
the modified transaction will remain balanced. I'm not sure yet if
it's guaranteed.
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.
Previously we ran if `--auto` was set. But this adds a small
performance hit if `--auto` becomes default. Now we only run twice if
there are transactionModifiers AND `--auto` is set. So even if auto is
specified, there will be no penalty if there are no modifiers.
Currently, automated transactions are added before the journal is
finalized. This means that no inferred values will be picked up. We
change the procedure, if `auto_` is set, to
1. first run `journalFinalise` without assertion checking (assertions
might be wrong until automated transactions), but with reordering
2. Insert transaction modifiers
3. Run `journalFinalise` again, this time with assertion checking as
set in the options, and without reordering.
If `auto_` is not set, all works as before.
Closes: #893
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.
- Parse errors encountered in include files are treated as "final" parse
errors in the parent file, preventing backtracking and fixing an issue
in #853
We previously had another parser type, 'type ErroringJournalParser =
ExceptT String ...' for throwing parse errors without the possibility of
backtracking. This parser type was removed under the assumption that it
would be possible to write our parser without this capability. However,
after a hairy backtracking bug, we would now prefer to have the option
to prevent backtracking.
- Define a 'FinalParseError' type specifically for the 'ExceptT' layer
- Any parse error can be raised as a "final" parse error
- Tracks the stack of include files for parser errors, anticipating the
removal of the tracking of stacks of include files in megaparsec 7
- Although a stack of include files is also tracked in the 'StateT
Journal' layer of the parser, it seems easier to guarantee correct
error messages in the 'ExceptT FinalParserError' layer
- This does not make the 'StateT Journal' stack redundant because the
'ExceptT FinalParseError' stack cannot be used to detect cycles of
include files
- Don't immediately throw custom parse errors into 'ParsecT'; rather,
just construct and return them
- This anticipates the re-implementation of an 'ExceptT' layer of the
parser, which should be able throw custom parse errors
- 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.."}]
Same-line & next-line comments of transactions, postings, etc.
are now parsed a bit more precisely. Previously parsing no comment
gave the same result as an empty comment (a single newline); now
it gives an empty string.
Also, and perhaps as a consequence of the above, when there's no
same-line comment but there is a next-line comment, we'll insert an
empty first line, otherwise next-line comments would get moved up to
the same line when rendered.
Some doctests have been added.
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 ?
I was negligent and did not test enough. This should ignore
transaction comments in auto posting rules more safely.
It also adds support for trailing comments on the first line of auto
posting rules, which previously were misparsed as part of the query.
'fail' will just terminate the current parse branch, whereas here
we have encountered a definite error. Also bring the code to
get the current working directory inside 'getFilePaths', as it
logically belongs there.
Field names are supposed to be case insensitive, but a field assignment like
fields ...,Transaction_Date,...
date %Transaction_Date
was failing, because of the capitalised letters. Fixed now.
- expands the set of expected tokens when e.g. parsing the invalid
posting `account $1 a`
- whitespace can affect parse errors because of the longest match rule
where errors that occur later take precedence over those that occur
earlier
- inline `spaceamountormissingp` into `postingp`
- combine `rightsymbolamountp` and `nosymbolamountp`
- the multiplier symbol '*' for an amount must now always preceed a sign '-'
[breaking change]
- make amount parser labels more generic to simplify error messages
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
... for displaying the source line on which parse errors occured
Over the following set of commits, I will to refactor the parsers to
obviate the `ExceptT String` layer of the `ErroringJournalParser` type
so that all parse errors go through Megaparsec's parse error machinery.
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.
We don't need to import Data.Monoid because Prelude.Compat exports "<>"
already. In fact, importing that module causes build failures:
Hledger/Read/Common.hs:725:62: error:
Ambiguous occurrence ‘<>’
It could refer to either ‘Sem.<>’,
imported from ‘Prelude.Compat’ at Hledger/Read/Common.hs:97:1-39
(and originally defined in ‘Data.Semigroup’)
or ‘Data.Monoid.<>’,
imported from ‘Data.Monoid’ at Hledger/Read/Common.hs:110:1-18
Fixes https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/794.
- Rationale:
- The information necessary for applying exponents to a number is more
explicitly represented in the inputs to `fromRawNumber` than in the outputs
- This way, `exponentp` may simply return an `Int`
- Purpose: to reduce the verbosity of the previous implementation
- Split off `AmbiguousNumber` into its own type
- Introduce a function `AmbiguousNumber -> RawNumber` explicitly capturing the
disambiguation logic
- Reduce the number of remaining constructors in `RawNumber` to just two,
`WithSeparator` and `NoSeparator`
- The choice to distinguish by the presence of digit separators is motivated
by the need for this information later on when disallowing exponents on
numbers with digit separators
- Extracts the handling of signs out of `fromRawNumber` and into `signp` itself
- Rationale: The sign can be applied independently from the logic in
`fromRawNumber`
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.
Accounts which have no budget goals within the report period are now
grouped under <unbudgeted> - not just accounts with no budget goals ever.
Haddocks have been clarified, especially for budgetRollup. In some
ways things are much clearer without this feature, but it remains
enabled by default for now.
Budgets were restricted to a single interval in 1.9, but this was
a mistake. This restores the 1.5 behaviour, where a budget can be built
up from multiple periodic transactions with different intervals.
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).
Income, liability and equity balances, which until now we have
always displayed as negative numbers, are now shown as normally positive
by these reports.
Negative numbers now indicate a contra-balance (eg an overdrawn
checking account), a net loss, a negative net worth, etc.
This makes these reports more like conventional financial statements,
and easier to read and share with normal people.
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-".
Ledger-style automated postings, previously supported only by
hledger-budget, have landed as a first-class feature. The --auto
flag activates them, so that any postings they generate are
included in reports.
Ledger-style periodic transactions, previously supported only by
hledger-budget, have landed as a first-class feature. The --forecast
flag activates them, so that any transactions they generate are
included in reports.
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.
Compound balance commands like these can now be aware of normal account
balance sign, and sort negative balances accordingly.
This also adds utility-ht as a dependency, only for the uncurry function
right now but it looks potentially useful to have.
Trailing whitespace in the replacement part of a regular expression
account alias is now significant. Eg, slightly flattening some bank
accounts: --alias '/:somebank:/=somebank '
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).
This patch fixes a bug that happened when using the -H option on
a period without any transaction. Previously, the behavior was no
output at all even though it should have shown the previous ending balances
of past transactions. (This is similar to previously using -H with -E,
but with the extra advantage of not showing empty accounts)
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.
Of the 2 tests, the first is a simple test on a specific period.
The second is expected to fail at this point until the new upcoming
code to fix the issue with the history option is implemented.
For the record : this issue happens when we use the -H flag for a period
that does not contain any transactions. Currently, the ending balance
values are only taken into account if the current period contains
a Transaction containing one of the previous populated accounts.
For example, if we have a statement on the 2008/01/01 for $1
and we do a command (with -H) to check the value on the
(without transactions) 2008/01/02, we will not get the $1 from
2008/01/01. In that same example, if we had a transaction for the same
account as 2008/01/01 in say 2008/01/03 then the -H command would
successfully show the statement from 2008/01/03 with the initial amount
that we set in 2008/01/01.
These tests verify the behavior when we input a very specific period.
The second test is meant to make sure that the new upcoming code in
MultiBalanceReports will not change anything in the behavior of
the module BalanceReport.
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.
