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.
As mentioned by netvor on IRC, the unbalanced transaction error was
not too clear when postings all have the same sign.
Some other wording has been clarified, and the main error message is
now shown on multiple lines for readability (at the cost of
predictability/grepability..)
There's also a probably unnoticeable change: selecting which parts of
the error to show is now based on display precisions (reusing the
balanced check logic), rather than original precisions.
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.
easytest is not actively maintained and requires an old version of
hedgehog which does not support base-compat 0.11 & ghc 8.8.
This is still using the old easytest helpers, and not displaying test
names properly.
This behavior is highly depends on journal. If we want to re-introduce
it we'd better re-consider how transaction entry can be "simplified".
I.e. besides dropping last amount we may drop prices that can be assumed
implicitly.
Note that there is no need to knit it into showTransaction since it
easily achievable with pre-processing (similar to implicit balances
etc).
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.
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.
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).
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).
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.
* 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
* bin: ignore chart and dupes addons
* lib: fix txnTieKnot
Ensure that postings refers to their transaction rather than original
one.
This should allow compiler perform destructive update and/or allow
garbage collecting old transaction.
* Remember original postings during infer and pivot
This includes such functions like:
- inferFromAssignment
- inferBalancingAmount
- inferBalancingPrices
- pivotPosting
* Use original postings for hledger print
- Introduce "--explicit" option for "print" command which brings back
old behavior when every inferred number being printed.
- Make "print" by default print original postings without inferred
amounts. But use effective account name to have effect from aliases.
- Instruct shell tests with an new expected output or to use
--explicit option when inferred amounts are checked.
Resolvessimonmichael/hledger#442
* Changed behavior of `readJournalFiles` to be identical to `readJournalFile` for singleton lists
* Balance Assertions have to be simple Amounts
* Add 'isAssignment' and 'assignmentPostings' to Hledger.Data.Posting and Transaction
* Implemented 'balanceTransactionUpdate', a more general version of 'balanceTransaction' that takes an update function
* Fixed test cases.
* Implemented balance assignment ("resetting a balance")
* Add assertions to show function
* updated the comments
* numbering is not needed in journalCheckBalanceAssertions
* remove prices before balance checks
* rename functions
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.
print now always right-aligns the amounts in an entry, even when they
are wider than 12 characters.
If there is a price, it's considered part of the amount for
right-alignment. Maybe it would be nicer to put amounts and prices in
separate columns ? That will get a little complicated, needs more
discussion/design.
Also some cleanup of postingAsLines.
The print command wasn't lining up amounts with wide chars in account
names, fixed it properly this time. Transaction and Posting's Show instances
should also be wide-char-aware now.
We don't do a good job of calculating good-looking unit prices when the
commodity display precisions are low. Eg when a journal doesn't use any
decimal places, any inferred unit prices are shown by the print command
also with no decimal places, which makes them look wrong.
Now inferred unit prices always have a minimum display precision of 2,
which helps a bit. Could do better.
When a transaction posts to two commodities without specifying the
conversion price, we generate a price which makes it balance
(cf http://hledger.org/manual.html#prices).
Until now, these generated prices were always shown with full precision
(all available decimal digits) so that a manual calculation with the
displayed numbers would agree.
If there's just one posting in the commodity being priced, we can use an
exact total price and the precision is no problem.
But if there are multiple postings in the commodity being priced, we
must show the averaged unit price. This can be an irrational number,
which with our current Decimal-based implementation would display an
excessive 255 decimal digits. So in this case we now set the price's
display precision to the sum of the (max) display precisions of the
commodities involved. An example:
hledgerdev -f- print
<<<
1/1
c C 10.00
c C 11.00
d D -320.00
>>>
2015/01/01
c C 10.00 @ D 15.2381
c C 11.00 @ D 15.2381
d D -320.00
>>>=0
There might still be cases where this will show more price decimal
places than necessary. For now, YAGNI.
A transaction/posting status of ! (pending) was effectively equivalent
to * (cleared). Now it's a separate state, not matched by --cleared.
The new Ledger-compatible --pending flag matches it, and so does
--uncleared. The equivalent search queries are now status:*, status:!
and status: (the old status:1 and status:0 spellings are deprecated).
Since we interpret --uncleared and status: as "any state except cleared",
it's not currently possible to match things which are neither cleared
nor pending.
