This module basically reimplements the old payment-report+income-report,
in a single tool (after setting aside some of the checks that have moved
to the plugin). The aging report can be implemented here too when we need
that.
This makes methods like _replace available in real code, and caught the
bug where we can't use @functools.lru_cache with Transaction arguments,
because they're unhashable due to their mutable members.
Ultimately I would like to make it possible to configure the software
entirely through this file, rather than the hodgepodge system we have
now. But that can come later.
payment-report and accrual-report query to find the last date a
series of postings had a non/zero balance. This method is a good
building block for that.
This is something reporting tools will want a lot. This will make it
easier for them to look at just postings without worrying about the
parent transaction.
See docstring for full rationale. This greatly reduces the need for other
plugin code to handle the case of `post.units.number is None`, eliminating
the need for entire methods and letting it do plain numeric comparisons.
This lets us import the plugin module without importing all of the included
hooks. This provides better isolation and error reporting in case there's
something like a syntax problem in one of the hooks: it doesn't cause
importing any plugin module to fail.
Extend the base class from checking 1 metadata value to checking N.
This is preparation for RT#10643, letting payables be documented with
invoice or contract.
This does unify error reporting, because now we always report all
type/invalid value errors *plus* a missing error if appropriate.
I think this consistency and thoroughness is appropriate, although
it did require some adjustments to the tests.
When we send checks, we don't have a check document anywhere (for
security reasons), we just note the check number. Update the
validation to match. RT#10507.
The main impetus of this change is to rename accounts that were outside
Beancount's accepted five root accounts, to move them into that
structure. This includes:
Accrued:*Payable: → Liabilities:Payable:*
Accrued:*Receivable: → Assets:Receivable:*
UneanedIncome:* → Liabilities:UnearnedIncome:*
Note the last change did inspire in a change to our validation rules. We no
longer require income-type on unearned income, because it's no longer
considered income at all. Once it's earned and converted to an Income
account, that has an income-type of course.
This did inspire another rename that was not required, but
provided more consistency with the other account names above:
Assets:Prepaid* → Assets:Prepaid:*
Where applicable, I have generally extended tests to make sure one of each
of the five account types is tested. (This mostly meant adding an Equity
account to the tests.) I also added tests for key parts of the hierarchy,
like Assets:Receivable and Liabilities:Payable, where applicable.
As part of this change, Account.is_real_asset() got renamed to
Account.is_cash_equivalent(), to better self-document its purpose.
The main motivation for this change is to make sure that higher-level
code deals with the fact that self.units.number can be None, and has
an easy way to do so.
I'm not sure all our code is *currently* doing the right thing for this
case, because I'm not sure it will ever actually come up. It's possible
that earlier Beancount plugins fill in decimal amounts for postings
that are originally loaded with self.units.number=None. I'll have to see
later whether this case comes up in reality, and then deal with it if so.
For now the safest strategy seems to be that most code should operate
when self.units.number is None.
I'm getting to ready to extend this hook to deal with income receipts as
well as expense receipts. These changes let me write the tests in a more
declarative style, so I don't have to duplicate them all again to test
credits as well as debits.
Note that we're only testing debits right now, just like the existing tests,
because the default check_type for check() is PostType.DEBIT. Part of making
the changes will be changing that to PostType.BOTH.
This just returns a constant for now, but we know it may need to be
configurable in the future. Other code can start using this now
to be configurable in the future.
I wasn't too worried about this earlier because the cache mainly stores
a bunch of numbers, but there's a little more than that: the generated
URLs also include original attachment filenames, which might be sensitive
(referencing people's names, bank names, etc.). Tighten security
accordingly.
This returns a cached version of the new rtutil.RT class,
so that a single process can easily grab references to one
instance with one cache of ticket/attachment data, etc.
For now, this is basically the Python version of
ledger-tag-convert.plx. It knows how to create RT web links from
ticket and attachment IDs. It confirms that those objects actually
exist too. It may grow to encompass other functionality in the
future.
This loads settings from the same environment variables and ~/.rtrc
file as the rt CLI.
Note that it does *not* support RTCONFIG and the config file
searching, because right now that seems like more work for more
trouble to me.
As we start reading more sensitive user configuration (like RT credentials),
this fixture makes it simpler to ensure that the tests never read the user's
real configuration, which could lead to problems like passwords in tracebacks.
As I'm pushing to reimplement payment-report/income-report, I see query and
reporting tools will want easy access to these kinds of views, so here it
starts.
* Rename _typing to beancount_types to better reflect what it is.
* LessComparable isn't a Beancount type, so move that to
plugin.core with its dependent helper classes.
* Errors are a core Beancount concept, so move that module to the
top level and have it include appropriate type definitions.
I feel like posting hooks a case of premature optimization in early
development. This approach reduces the number of special cases in
the code and allows us to more strongly reason about hooks in the
type system.
This is the layer that keeps track of the different groups of hooks and
can filter them before runtime. The idea here is that you'll be able
to do things like skip hooks that require network access when you don't
have it, or skip CPU-intensive hooks when you don't need them, etc.
This is the simplest version of a common validation we're going to do:
make sure that a particular piece of metadata has one of a set of
values.
This checker needs some bounds checking but I wanted to err on the
side of committing this early because it introduces so much base
infrastructure.
