* csv rules: Show prettier parsing errors
This goes from
hledger: user error ("ParseError {errorPos = SourcePos {sourceName = \"foo.csv.rules\",
sourceLine = Pos 20, sourceColumn = Pos 1} :| [], errorUnexpected =
fromList [Tokens (' ' :| \"\")], errorExpected = fromList [Label ('b' :| \"lank or comment
line\"),EndOfInput], errorCustom = fromList []}")
to
hledger: user error (foo.csv.rules:20:1:
unexpected space
expecting blank or comment line or end of input
)
* csv rules: Fix parsing of empty field values
A single line containing `account1 ` (note the space at the end) should
parse as assignment of the empty string to account1. At least it did
until commit 4141067.
The problem is that megaparsec's `space` parses multiple space
characters as opposed to parsec. So in the example above it would
incorrectly consume the newline.
This commit also adds a new test case for this bug.
Timeclock transaction ids now count up rather than down.
Also, remove old code for appending timeclock transactions to journal transactions,
a holdover from the days when both were allowed in one file.
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.
The account transactions report used for hledger-ui and -web registers
now gives either the "period total" or "historical total", depending
strictly on the --historical flag. It doesn't try to tell the user
whether the historical total is the accurate historical balance (which
depends on the report query).
- try to clarify naming and meaning of balance/register report modes
and kinds of "balance" displayed. Added balance --change and
register --cumulative flags to clarify report modes.
- with multiple --change/--cumulative/--historical flags use the last
instead of complaining
- register -A is now affected by -H
- options cleanups
Generated package.yaml files from the old cabal files with hpack-convert,
removed some problematic blank lines manually,
regenerated the cabal files from the package.yaml files with hpack.
Tests pass, looks like all the info is still there.
This means that from now on, we don't edit cabal files directly.
We edit the less verbose package.yaml files. stack will update
the cabal files automatically (or non-stack users can use hpack).
The changes to both are committed, as we still want to provide
the cabal files to downloaders.
-H/--historical now makes a single-column balance report with a start
date show historical balances reflecting earlier postings. This is
equivalent to specifying no start date, but it's more consistent.
The account transactions report (and eg hledger-ui's register screen) no
longer aborts showing historical balances when -E/--empty/nonzero mode
or cur: are in effect.
* Replace Parsec with Megaparsec (see #289)
This builds upon PR #289 by @rasendubi
* Revert renaming of parseWithState to parseWithCtx
* Fix doctests
* Update for Megaparsec 5
* Specialize parser to improve performance
* Pretty print errors
* Swap StateT and ParsecT
This is necessary to get the correct backtracking behavior, i.e. discard
state changes if the parsing fails.
Clarify the account transactions report, and don't change original transactions' dates.
Show a more accurate date in hledger-ui and hledger-web's account registers
when postings have their own dates. This is now called the "transaction register date":
the date which is displayed for that transaction in a register for some current account
and filter query. It is either the transaction date from the journal ("transaction general date"),
or if postings to the current account and matched by the register's filter query have
their own dates, the earliest of those dates.
With --debug=2, better information about assertions is printed.
Balance assertion errors now have a more standard and parseable layout.
The asserted balance is now shown with the diff, let's see if that's better.
Two fixes for this report when --real/--cleared/real:/status: are in effect,
affecting hledger-ui and possibly hledger-web:
1. exclude transactions which affect the current account via an excluded posting type.
Eg when --real is in effect, a transaction posting to the current account with only
virtual postings will not appear in the report.
2. when showing historical balances, don't count excluded posting types in the
starting balance. Eg with --real, the starting balance will be the sum of only the
non-virtual prior postings.
This is complicated and there might be some ways to confuse it still, causing
wrongly included/excluded transactions or wrong historical balances/running totals
(transactions with both real and virtual postings to the current account, perhaps ?)
This commit clarifies the account transactions report: as before the included transactions
are the original unfiltered transactions, but now the change and running balance amounts
are calculated from the report-matched postings. This fixed the limitation noted in 509f558,
so that toggling real mode in any screen could work. Then I decided the transaction screen
shouldn't show a partial transaction after all, so real/cleared filtering is no longer allowed or indicated here.
There is a limitation/bug: disabling real mode in the transaction screen
won't show the non-real postings if it was entered from a real-mode
register screen.
The journal/timeclock/timedot parsers, instead of constructing (opaque)
journal update functions which are later applied to build the journal,
now construct the journal directly (by modifying the parser state). This
is easier to understand and debug. It also removes any possibility of
the journal updates being a space leak. (They weren't, in fact memory
usage is now slightly higher, but that will be addressed in other ways.)
Also:
Journal data and journal parse info have been merged into one type (for
now), and field names are more consistent.
The ParsedJournal type alias has been added to distinguish being-parsed
and finalised journals.
Journal is now a monoid.
stats: fixed an issue with ordering of include files
journal: fixed an issue with ordering of included same-date transactions
timeclock: sessions can no longer span file boundaries (unclocked-out
sessions will be auto-closed at the end of the file).
expandPath now throws a proper IO error (and requires the IO monad).
When multiple files are specified with multiple -f options, we now
parse each one individually, rather than just concatenating them, so
they can have different formats.
Directives (like default year or account aliases) no longer carry over
from one file to the next. Limitation or feature ?
journal files can now include journal, timeclock or timedot files (but
not yet CSV files). Also timeclock/timedot files no longer support
default year directives.
The Hledger.Read.* modules have been reorganised for better reuse.
Hledger.Read.Utils has been renamed Hledger.Read.Common and holds
low-level parsers & utilities; high-level read utilities have moved to
Hledger.Read.
The commodity directive's format subdirective can now be used to
override the inferred style for a commodity, eg to increase or decrease
the precision. This doesn't fix the root cause of #295 but is at least a
good workaround.
Bracketed posting dates were fragile; they worked only if you wrote full
10-character dates. Also some semantics were a bit unclear. Now they
should be robust, and have been documented more clearly. This is a
legacy undocumented Ledger syntax, but it improves compatibility and
might be preferable to the more verbose "date:" tags if you write
posting dates often (as I do).
Internally, bracketed posting dates are no longer considered to be tags.
Journal comment, tag, and posting date parsers have been reworked, all
with doctests. Also the journal parser types generally have been
tightened up and clarified, making it much easier to know how to combine
and run them. There's now
-- | A parser of strings with generic user state, monad and return type.
type StringParser u m a = ParsecT String u m a
-- | A string parser with journal-parsing state.
type JournalParser m a = StringParser JournalContext m a
-- | A journal parser that runs in IO and can throw an error mid-parse.
type ErroringJournalParser a = JournalParser (ExceptT String IO) a
and corresponding convenience functions (and short aliases) for running them.
Use slightly clearer m4 macros instead of special divs to mark content
as web only/man only. The temporary doc/*.md files are no longer needed,
slightly more redundant work is done.
We now parse account directives, like Ledger's. We don't do anything
with them yet. The default parent account feature must now be spelled
"apply account"/"end apply account".
- Docs are now collected on a single page
- Lots of copy updates
- The front page is less cluttered
- More whitespace at the sides
- The (still WIP) man pages are now linked
- Describe and link to plaintextaccounting.org
The Journal, Timelog and Timedot readers' detectors now check
each line in the sample data, not just the first one. I think
the sample data is only about 30 chars right now, but even so
this fixed a format detection issue I was seeing.
Timedot is a plain text format for logging dated, categorised
quantities (eg time), supported by hledger. It is convenient for
approximate and retroactive time logging, eg when the real-time
clock-in/out required with a timeclock file is too precise or too
interruptive. It can be formatted like a bar chart, making clear at a
glance where time was spent.
Amount display style canonicalisation code and terminology has been
clarified a bit. Individual amounts still have styles; from these we
derive the standard "commodity styles". In user docs, we might call
these "commodity formats" since a Ledger-compatible commodity directive
would use the "format" keyword.
There are now six man pages, one for each main executable and file
format, generated from markdown by the mighty pandoc. They are basically
the content of the user manual, split up and moved into the appropriate
package directory. I've also committed the generated man files.
The man pages' markdown source (hledger/hledger.1.md,
hledger-lib/hledger_journal.5.md etc.) are now the master documentation
files. The plan is to concatenate them (with a little munging) to form
the all-in-one user manual for the website, at release time. This also
separates the hledger.org user manual from the latest doc commits, which
should simplify website management.
I really don't see why that extra x parameter is needed or works..
rewrite it in simpler form.
I also might be introducing breakage for older GHC's by using
unconditionally <$>, but I'm not seeing that for some reason
(tested back to ghc 7.6).
Since market price amounts didn't contribute to the canonical commodity
styles, they were being reset to the null style. And this propagated to
the reported amounts when -V was in effect, causing much confusion.
Now, market prices contribute to canonicalisation and the expected
styles are preserved even with -V.
cf https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/131#issuecomment-133545140
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.
Simple (non-multicolumn) balance reports containing wide characters
should now align correctly (in apps and fonts that show wide chars as
double width). Likewise, the print command.
Wide characters, eg chinese/japanese/korean characters, are typically
rendered wider than latin characters. In some applications (eg gnome
terminal or osx terminal) and fonts (eg monaco) they are exactly double
width. This is a start at making hledger aware of this. A register
report containing wide characters (in descriptions, account names, or
commodity symbols) should now align its columns correctly, when viewed
with a suitable font and application.
This adds a accountNameApplyAliasesMemo, which memoises the result of
applying a set of aliases (simple and regex) to an account name. In
theory this should reduce more repetitive work, but in practice it
doesn't seem to make a difference, so it's unused for now.
Roughly speaking, the time to apply regular expression account aliases
was O(aliases x transactions), and should now be O(aliases x accounts).
Also, the constant factor was reduced a lot by the recent commit
memoising toRegex. So now, regex aliases should be "free" like simple
aliases - use as many as you want, the slowdown shouldn't be noticeable.
