hledger check recentassertions now reports the error at the first
posting that's more than 7 days later than the latest balance
assertion (rather than at the balance assertion). This is the thing
actually triggering the error, and it is more likely to be visible or
at least closer when you are working at the end of a journal file.
hledger check recentassertions (or flycheck-hledger if you enable this
check) will complain if any balance-asserted account does not have a
balance assertion within 7 days before its latest posting. This aims
to prevent the situation where you are regularly updating your
journal, but forgetting to check your balances against the real world,
eventually requiring you to dig back through months of data to find
the error.
transactions are balanced possibly using explicit prices, but without
inferring any prices. This is included in --strict mode.
Renames check autobalanced to check balancedwithautoconversion.
This is intended to work in three modes:
- hledger check: just run the standard data checks, like all other
commands but with no output on success. Equivalent to
hledger stats >/dev/null but simpler and platform-independent.
- hledger check --strict: run the standard + strict data checks,
like other commands in strict mode.
- hledger check CHECK1 CHECK2 ...: run the named checks. This allows
running more or less checks than the default or strict mode, or
a single check of interest. The arguments are standard lowercase names
for the checks. For now this command supports two checks: "dates" and
"leafnames". These are equivalent to the check-dates and check-dupes
commands which are now hidden and considered deprecated, though
still supported for the moment.
This command needs more work and I'm rushing it a little, but I think
it's the right direction and I'd like to put it out there to get
feedback.
