Issue #457 pointed out that commands such as
hledger ui 'amt:>200'
failed. This was becasue the process of dispatching from `hledger ui`
to `hledger-ui` (note addition of `-`) lost the quotes around
`amt:>20` and the `>` character was interpreted as a shell redirection
operator, rather than as part of the argument.
The machinery for quoting or escaping arguements which cointain
characters which require quoting or escaping (thus far whitespace and
quotes) already existed. This solution simply adds shell stdio
redirection characters to this set.
Fixes#457
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.
It seems we don't use it at all, and ony says it's not robust with
prices either.
Merge remote-tracking branch 'ony/chores/drop-elide-in-showTransaction'
This commit introduces the commandline argument -%/--percent to show
percentages of the column's total instead of the absolute amounts for
each account in reports. The signs of the values are preserved.
This option is especially useful for the balance and incomestatement
commands.
If there are multiple commodities involved in a report hledger bails
with an error message. This can be avoided by using --cost. Also note
that if one uses -% with the balance command the chances are high that
all numbers are 0. This is due to the fact that by default balance sums
up to zero. If one wants to use -% in a meaningful way with balance one
has to add a query.
In order to keep the implementation as simple as possible --tree has no
influence over how the percentages are calculated, i.e., the percentages
always represent the fraction of the columns total. If one wants to know
the percentages relative to a parent account, one has to use a query to
narrow down the accounts.
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).
