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.
When generating a new posting as a multiple of an existing posting,
support conversion to a different commodity. For example, postings in
hours can be used to generate postings in USD.
Automatic transactions generated from rewrite rules use the commodity,
amount style, and transaction price if the rewrite defines a commodity.
The balance command now shows negative amounts in red, when it thinks
ANSI codes are supported, ie when TERM is not "dumb" and stdout is not
being redirected or piped somewhere.
* Add an option to use unicode in balance tables
fixes#522
* Add a test for unicode tables
* Document --pretty-tables
* Support --pretty-tables in BalanceView
* added showMarketPrice and Hledger.Data.MarketPrice module
* showMarketPrice implemented using showDate
* attempted to add tests to Hledger.Data.MarketPrice
* moved MarketPrice test to Hledger.Read.JournalReader; fixed documentation on MarketPrice; added MarketPrice module to package.yaml
* 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.
This assumes a "PAYEE | NOTE" convention in the description field,
similar to Beancount's journal syntax. If the description has no pipe
character, payee and note are the same as the full description.
