;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.
Multicolumn balance reports showing many commodities tend to become
unreadably wide, especially in tree mode. Now by default we show at
most two commodities, and a count of the rest if there are more than
two. This should help keep reports somewhat readable by default.
SMorgan:
This PR aims to accomplish two major goals:
- Get boring parent ellision working for multiBalanceReport
- Remove the special BalanceReport code, and just use multiBalanceReport
I believe it does both, with the following additional benefits:
A refactor of multiBalanceReportWith, to make the structure easier to follow, and with a clearer division of responsibilities
All decisions for how an account name is to be displayed are now made in multiBalanceReport, rather than scattered around the code base
Some miscellaneous improvements in account name rendering, including --drop now working with MultiBalanceReports, and addressing some of #373
Algorithmic changes:
- Using HashMap AccountName (Map DateSpan Account) instead of [[MixedAmount]] is new. I admit I didn't profile this change (though given the nubs and lookups, I thought it was appropriate), so I'm glad it produces a speedup.
- Producing the starting balances no longer calls the whole balanceReport, just the first few functions to get what it needs.
- displayedAccounts is completely rewritten. Perhaps one subtle thing to note is that in tree mode it no longer excludes nodes with zero inclusive balance unless they also have zero exclusive balance.
SMichael:
I'll mark the passing of the old multiBalanceReport, into which I poured many an hour :). It is in a way the heart (brain ?) of hledger - the key feature of ledgerlikes (balance report) and a key improvement introduced by hledger (tabular multiperiod balance reports). You have split that 300-line though well documented function into modular parts, which could be a little harder to understand in detail but are easier to understand in the large and more amenable to further refactoring. Then you fixed some old limitations (boring parent eliding in multi period balance reports, --drop with tree mode reports), allowing us to drop the old balanceReport and focus on just the new multiBalanceReport. And for representing the tabular data you replaced the semantically correct but inefficient list of lists with a map of maps, speeding up many-columned balance reports significantly (~40%). Last and not least you made it really easy to review. Thanks @Xitian9, great work.
This works with glob patterns too, applying the prefix to each path.
This can be useful when included files don't have the standard file
extension, eg:
include timedot:2020*.md
As mentioned by netvor on IRC, the unbalanced transaction error was
not too clear when postings all have the same sign.
Some other wording has been clarified, and the main error message is
now shown on multiple lines for readability (at the cost of
predictability/grepability..)
There's also a probably unnoticeable change: selecting which parts of
the error to show is now based on display precisions (reusing the
balanced check logic), rather than original precisions.
The ordering of journalfieldnames is changed in order to comply with the requirement stated in the comment:
"Names must precede any other name they contain, for the parser".
If left unchanged, "account1" would precede "account11", "account12", and so on, which would break the parsing.
With the new ordering, "account11" precedes "account1".
We now accept (but still ignore) a fixed or nonfixed ({=} or {}) lot
price following a posting amount, and it may appear before or after a
transaction price (@ or @@). And it may no longer appear after a
balance assertion.
Also: fixedlotpricep renamed to lotpricep, now also parses non-fixed
lot prices. A bit of amount parsers cleanup.
orgstruct-mode was dropped from org 9.2, and I shouldn't have been
forcing it on anyway.
The new config allows its "replacement", outshine-mode, to do similar
code folding when you press tab on any of the lines matching
outline-regexp. But only if you patch it as mentioned at
https://github.com/alphapapa/outshine/issues/77.
Enable it by, eg: (add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook 'outshine-mode)
The change for hledger 1.17.1 broke one of my csv rules, where I used
`amount` but then tried to override it with `amountN`s in a
conditional block; the two clashed. Now in that situation any
`amountN`s take precedence, causing `amount` to be ignored entirely.
Also clarified the "too many non-zero amounts" error message a bit.
A rewrite and simplification of the posting-generating code. The
"special handling for pre 1.17 rules" should now be less noticeable.
amount1/amount2 no longer force a second posting or explicit amounts
on both postings. (Only amount/amount-in/amount-out do that.)
Error messages and handling of corner cases may be more robust, also.
The include directive now tries just one reader, based on the file
extension and defaulting to journal, like the rest of hledger.
(It doesn't yet handle a reader prefix.)
Reader-finding utilities have moved from Hledger.Read to
Hledger.Read.JournalReader so the include directive can use them.
Reader changes:
- rExperimental flag removed
- old rParser renamed to rReadFn
- new rParser field provides the actual parser.
This seems to require making Reader a higher-kinded type, unfortunately.
For a long time hledger has auto-detected the file format when it's
not known, eg when reading from a file with unusual extension (like
.dat or .txt), or from standard input (-f-), or when using the include
directive (which currently ignores file extensions).
Auto-detecting has been done by trying all readers until one succeeds.
This could guess wrong in some cases, but it was so rare that it has
been working fine.
Recently, more conveniences have been added to timedot format,
increasing its overlap with journal format, which makes this kind of
auto-detection unreliable.
Auto-detection and auto-detection failures are (probably) still pretty
rare in practice. But when it does happen it's confusing, giving
misleading errors or false successes (eg printing timedot entries
instead of a journal error).
For predictability and to minimise confusion, hledger no longer tries
to guess; when there's no file extension or reader prefix, it assumes
journal format. To specify one of the other formats, you must use a
standard file extension (.timeclock, .timedot, .csv, .ssv, .tsv), or a
reader prefix (-f csv:foo.txt, -f timedot:-).
For now, the include directive still tries to autodetect
(journal/timeclock/timedot), and this can't be overridden; it will be
fixed later.
Experimental; testing and feedback welcome.
Now, org headlines before the first day entry are ignored,
regardless of content.
Note, blank lines inside a day entry are not allowed, currently.
It's now easier to be both valid journal and valid timedot at the same
time, so guessing the format of stdin is unreliable, and some tests
are failing. See following commit.
Amounts in JSON are now rendered as simple Numbers with up to 10
decimal places, instead of Decimal objects which would in some cases
have 255 digits, too many for most JSON parsers to handle.
A provisional fix, see the comment in Json.hs for more detail.
Renamed: writeValidJournal -> writeJournalTextIfValidAndChanged
Added comments clarifying line ending behaviour of:
add, import, appendToJournalFileOrStdout, readFilePortably,
writeFileWithBackupIfChanged, writeJournalTextIfValidAndChanged
Summary of current behaviour:
- hledger add and import commands will append with (at least some)
unix line endings, possibly causing the file to have mixed line
endings
- hledger-web edit and upload forms will write the file with
the current system's native line endings, ie changing all
line endings if the file previously used foreign line endings.
D directives are now fully equivalent to commodity directives for
setting a commodity's display style. (Previously it was equivalent to
a posting amount, so it couldn't limit the number of decimal places.)
When both kinds of directive exist, commodity directives take precedence.
When there are multiple D directives in the journal, only the last one
affects display style.
Stop exporting journalAmounts, overJournalAmounts, traverseJournalAmounts.
Rename journalAmounts helper to journalStyleInfluencingAmounts.
D directives are now a little better at influencing amount
canonicalisation, eg in the updated test case.
Fix presumably copy-paste errors
timeclock format has only timeclock lines or empty/comment lines
Update test format to v3, add new tests
Throw error on unexpected clock codes in timeclock format
Fix missing case in pattern matching
