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.
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 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.
checkRawOpts has been a no-op for at least four years, and
checkReportOpts only makes sure that depth_ is positive, which is taken
care of by the maybeposintopt parser.
This PR #1330, addressing #1312 (parseQuery is partial) and #1245
(internal server error).
User-visible changes:
- hledger-web now handles malformed regular expressions
(eg, a query consisting of the single character `?`) gracefully,
showing a tidy error message instead "internal server error".
API/internal changes:
- The Regex type alias has been replaced by the Regexp ADT, which
contains both the compiled regular expression (so is guaranteed to
be usable at runtime) and the original string (so can be serialised,
printed, compared, etc.) A Regexp also knows whether is it case
sensitive or case insensitive. The Hledger.Utils.Regex api has changed.
- Typeable and Data instances are no longer derived for hledger's
data types; they were redundant/no longer needed
- NFData instances are no longer derived for hledger's data types.
This speeds up a full build by roughly 7%. But it means we can't
deep-evaluate hledger values, or time hledger code with Criterion.
https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/pull/1330#issuecomment-684075129
has some ideas on this.
- Query no longer has a custom Show instance
- Some internal use of regexps was replaced by text replacement or
parsers.
- Hledger.Utils.String: quoteIfNeeded now actually escapes quotes in
strings; dropped escapeQuotes
- Hledger.Utils.Tree: dropped some old utilities
- dropped some obsolete code for the old --display option

;areg: debug output
;areg: show a title indicating which account was picked
This might be a bit of a pain for scripting, but otherwise it can be
quite confusing if your argument matches an account you didn't expect.
;areg: improve CSV headings
;areg: show at most two commodities per amount
accountTransactionsReport now filters transactions more thoroughly, so
eg transactions dated outside the report period will not be shown.
Previously the transaction would be shown if it had any posting dated
inside the report period. Possibly some other filter criteria now get
applied that didn't before. I think on balance this will give slightly
preferable results.
bal --budget was always showing the period as column heading,
as if for a change report. With --cumulative or --historical
it should show the end date, like other balance reports. Cf
https://hledger.org/hledger.html#multicolumn-balance-report.
This is an API change, but it seems better than having additional
colour-supporting variants and trying to avoid duplicated code.
I stopped short of changing showAmount, so cshowAmount still exists.
