accountsFromPostings is currently doing excessive work when adding up
postings in each account. It sorts (accountName, amount) tuples which
cause amounts in them to be compared. There is no need to look at amount
here at all since subsequent summing up and counting does not depend on
order. It is enough to sort by accountname only.
Went through similar pieces of code, made them all look uniform.
- Simplify doctests for periodexpr.
- Besides consuming leading space consume ending space for periodexpr also.
- Drop implicit option (def, def) behaviour of periodexpr. I.e. disallow
hledger reg -p '' and auto-transaction with heading just '~'.
- Slightly re-factor periodexpr.
- Ensure that reportinginterval doesn't consume trailing space.
Useful if we'll start disallowing periods like "every1stjan2009-".
Ledger-style automated postings, previously supported only by
hledger-budget, have landed as a first-class feature. The --auto
flag activates them, so that any postings they generate are
included in reports.
Ledger-style periodic transactions, previously supported only by
hledger-budget, have landed as a first-class feature. The --forecast
flag activates them, so that any transactions they generate are
included in reports.
This is very helpful for periodic transactions, because in budget mode
you need to ensure that no periodic transactions extend past the end
of the journal, and in forecast mode you need to make sure that all
periodic transactions are strictly after the end of the journal.
Some of these demonstrate that runPeriodicTransaction could generate
transactions ouside of requested DateSpan. This happens because
runPeriodicTransaction uses splitSpan internally, and splitSpan always
generates dateSpans that fully cover original DateSpan, extending
beyound left/right boundary if necessary. This is ok if transactions
are generated for budgeting purpose, but during forecasting care should
be taken to check that all generated transactions are happening past
the end of the real journal.
Currently only lower-case account names are supported, both on the
command line, and in the journal (in periodic transactions):
This works:
$ hledger balance -p nov
This does not:
$ hledger balance -p Nov
First transaction will parse, second will not:
```
cat every-month.journal ~/devel/haskell/darcs-get/hledger/examples
~ aug to sep
assets
expenses $1
~ Aug to Sep
assets
expenses $2
```
$../bin/hledger-budget bal -f every-month.journal
hledger-budget: Failed to parse "Aug to Sep": date parse error ()
This commit fixes both cases.
Compound balance commands like these can now be aware of normal account
balance sign, and sort negative balances accordingly.
This also adds utility-ht as a dependency, only for the uncurry function
right now but it looks potentially useful to have.
Trailing whitespace in the replacement part of a regular expression
account alias is now significant. Eg, slightly flattening some bank
accounts: --alias '/:somebank:/=somebank '
Add "fixed" to the regex used to exclude asset accounts from cashflow
reports. Assumes accounts are set up something like:
assets:fixed assets:equipment
assets:fixed assets:vehicles
assets:fixed assets:buildings
Older megaparsec is still supported.
Also cleans up our custom parser types,
and some text (un)packing is done in different places
(possible performance impact).
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.
