This makes the output more useful for broad searches like on an
entity. Invoices that cross FY boundaries will appear to be paid
without being accrued, and so would appear when we were just
filtering zeroed-out invoices.
If we integrate the aging report into this module in the future,
that'll need to follow different logic, and just filter out
zeroed-out invoices. But the basic balance report and outgoing
report are more workaday tools, where more filtering makes them
more useful.
It makes sense to let the bookkeeper skip validations in situations
where the metadata requires information that might not be available
when entered. It does not make sense to skip validations that *must*
be available and affect the structure of the books, like project and
entity.
This commit ensures every plugin hook has a test for flagged
transactions, even for hooks that currently have the desired
behavior where no code changes were required for the test to
pass.
Building a string and loading it means Beancount can never cache any
load. It only caches top-level file loads because options in the
top-level file can change the semantics of included entries.
Instead use load_file as much as possible, and filter entries as
needed.
The old loading strategy didn't load options, which yielded some
spurious errors. It also created awkward duplication of plugin
information in the code as well as the books.
Implement a new loading strategy that works by reading one of the
"main files" under the books/ subdirectory and includes entries
for additional FYs beyond that.
This is still not ideal in a lot of ways. In particular, Beancount can't
cache any results, causing any load to be slower than it theoretically could
be. I expect more commits to follow. But some of them might require
restructuring the books, and that should happen separately.
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.
I believe we still want this in principle, but we're not currently enforcing
it the way I thought we were, and we very regularly write Payables without
this supporting documentation (for trip reimbursement, regular service fees,
etc.). Enforcing this now would be way too noisy in the books, we need to
devise a separate plan to enforce this if we want it.
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.
This gets closer to our real intentions: anything that checks link
metadata should check rt-id. MetaRepoLinks is the exception, not
the rule, in ignoring rt-id.
