# Testing parse error messages for accuracy and usefulness. # A journal with an incomplete date. < 2018 # XXX depends on the executable being named "hledger" (prepended by GHC.Err.error) # 1. $ hledger -f - print >2 hledger: -:1:5: | 1 | 2018 | ^ unexpected newline expecting date separator or digit >=1 # A journal with an unbalanced transaction. < 2018/1/1 a 1 # 2.
