The include directive now tries just one reader, based on the file
extension and defaulting to journal, like the rest of hledger.
(It doesn't yet handle a reader prefix.)
Reader-finding utilities have moved from Hledger.Read to
Hledger.Read.JournalReader so the include directive can use them.
Reader changes:
- rExperimental flag removed
- old rParser renamed to rReadFn
- new rParser field provides the actual parser.
This seems to require making Reader a higher-kinded type, unfortunately.
For a long time hledger has auto-detected the file format when it's
not known, eg when reading from a file with unusual extension (like
.dat or .txt), or from standard input (-f-), or when using the include
directive (which currently ignores file extensions).
Auto-detecting has been done by trying all readers until one succeeds.
This could guess wrong in some cases, but it was so rare that it has
been working fine.
Recently, more conveniences have been added to timedot format,
increasing its overlap with journal format, which makes this kind of
auto-detection unreliable.
Auto-detection and auto-detection failures are (probably) still pretty
rare in practice. But when it does happen it's confusing, giving
misleading errors or false successes (eg printing timedot entries
instead of a journal error).
For predictability and to minimise confusion, hledger no longer tries
to guess; when there's no file extension or reader prefix, it assumes
journal format. To specify one of the other formats, you must use a
standard file extension (.timeclock, .timedot, .csv, .ssv, .tsv), or a
reader prefix (-f csv:foo.txt, -f timedot:-).
For now, the include directive still tries to autodetect
(journal/timeclock/timedot), and this can't be overridden; it will be
fixed later.
Experimental; testing and feedback welcome.
Now, org headlines before the first day entry are ignored,
regardless of content.
Note, blank lines inside a day entry are not allowed, currently.
It's now easier to be both valid journal and valid timedot at the same
time, so guessing the format of stdin is unreliable, and some tests
are failing. See following commit.
Amounts in JSON are now rendered as simple Numbers with up to 10
decimal places, instead of Decimal objects which would in some cases
have 255 digits, too many for most JSON parsers to handle.
A provisional fix, see the comment in Json.hs for more detail.
Renamed: writeValidJournal -> writeJournalTextIfValidAndChanged
Added comments clarifying line ending behaviour of:
add, import, appendToJournalFileOrStdout, readFilePortably,
writeFileWithBackupIfChanged, writeJournalTextIfValidAndChanged
Summary of current behaviour:
- hledger add and import commands will append with (at least some)
unix line endings, possibly causing the file to have mixed line
endings
- hledger-web edit and upload forms will write the file with
the current system's native line endings, ie changing all
line endings if the file previously used foreign line endings.
D directives are now fully equivalent to commodity directives for
setting a commodity's display style. (Previously it was equivalent to
a posting amount, so it couldn't limit the number of decimal places.)
When both kinds of directive exist, commodity directives take precedence.
When there are multiple D directives in the journal, only the last one
affects display style.
Stop exporting journalAmounts, overJournalAmounts, traverseJournalAmounts.
Rename journalAmounts helper to journalStyleInfluencingAmounts.
D directives are now a little better at influencing amount
canonicalisation, eg in the updated test case.
Fix presumably copy-paste errors
timeclock format has only timeclock lines or empty/comment lines
Update test format to v3, add new tests
Throw error on unexpected clock codes in timeclock format
Fix missing case in pattern matching
(max|min)imum(By)?Def are being replaced by (max|min)imumBound(By)?
but the old functions have the semantics I want and
I don't understand the new ones yet.
This can hide other deprecation warnings in this file,
and presumably the old functions will be removed later,
so this is temporary.

Issue #457 pointed out that commands such as
hledger ui 'amt:>200'
failed. This was becasue the process of dispatching from `hledger ui`
to `hledger-ui` (note addition of `-`) lost the quotes around
`amt:>20` and the `>` character was interpreted as a shell redirection
operator, rather than as part of the argument.
The machinery for quoting or escaping arguements which cointain
characters which require quoting or escaping (thus far whitespace and
quotes) already existed. This solution simply adds shell stdio
redirection characters to this set.
Fixes#457
Hledger.Util.Tests helpers have been cleaned up, and test names are
now shown.
Tests have been cleaned up a bit. Some groups of unnamed tests have
been collapsed into a single named test containing a sequence of
assertions. The test command counts named tests, not assertions, so
the reported unit test count has dropped from 199 to 188.
