While working on hledger, I found a few more ledger 2.6 quirks. I
wonder if these are accurate/intended ?
- in register report, account patterns always match against the full
account name
That's correct. /foo/ matches against the full name, //foo/ against
the partial name.
- but in balance report, account patterns match only the account's
leaf name, except when they contain : or are negative patterns
That sounds odd!
- if an entry contains different commodities, ledger doesn't require
it to balance
Not exactly true. Ledger requires that the *basis cost* balances to
zero. You have to use --basis to see this, in which case the
commodities disappear.
That is, 100 AAPL at $10 per share balances against $-1000.00, even
though in the balance sheet it will print as two separate totals.
