A "hledger check" argument may now be a quoted string containing
the check name followed by space-separated arguments, for
checks which make use of those. This means the check command
can replicate "check-dates --unique" and (in principle)
"check-fancyassertions ASSERTIONS..". Eg:
hledger check "dates --unique"
I think it'll be better for checks to take no arguments or options,
so this is probably just a transitional feature for compatibility.
Command-line account aliases now also affect transactions read
from these formats (not just journal format).
lib: journalApplyAliases, transactionApplyAliases, postingApplyAliases
helpers have been added.
Work on hledger-web tests showed some bad behaviour, in particular
journalReloadIfNewer would always reload a journal read from a string
or stdout. This is now fixed, and an ugly read.show conversion has
been cleaned up.
Hledger.Cli.Utils API changes:
removed:
- journalSpecifiedFileIsNewer
- fileModificationTime
added:
- utcTimeToClockTime
changed:
- journalFileIsNewer now requires a file argument
Journal keeps a new piece of parsing state, a decimal mark character,
which can optionally be set to force the number format expected by all
amount parsers.
querystring_.
This helps deal with tricky quoting issues, as we no longer have to make
sure everything is quoted properly before merging it into a string.
This introduces some new helper functions which are exactly the same
as what we had before, but do not call
normaliseMixedAmountSquashPricesForDisplay, so that we can use the new
functions for displaying Transaction and Posting. It also goes through
and gets rid of most uses of the old showMixed* functions which would
benefit from using the new interface.
This changes showMixedAmountElided so that the width to elide to is
given as an argument, rather than fixed at 22 characters. This
actually uses the new renderTable interface. Mostly this is just an
internal change, but since we have more information about the widths
of things, we can actually get rid of some superfluous spaces in the
budget report output, previously there to make sure it stayed aligned
with the largest reasonable contents.
This gives renderTable a little more customisation. Before any of the
commits of this PR, render would just receive a string to display in
each cell. After the second commit of this PR it would also receive a
width of the string (in place of stripping ANSI sequences and then
calculating the width). After this commit, it now also takes an
alignment, so you can make cells left or right aligned. The function
render calls renderTable with appropriate options to give the same
behaviour as before. Also, previously render would always put a border
around the table. We would take this output, and would sometimes strip
the border by dropping the first and last rows, and first and last
characters of every row. I've just added an option to control whether
to put the border in, so we can just not add it in the first place,
rather than stripping it later. Note that this is again just defining
helper functions; this extra power is not yet used anywhere.
