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.
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.
