Hi all,
I'm trying to write assertions about account totals, but I ran into an issue
demonstrated in the following ledger file:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017-01-01 * Test
Expenses $3
Income
eval print("Income total: " + account("Income").total)
eval print("Income amount: " + account("Income").amount)
2017-01-01 * Test
Expenses $5
Income
eval print("Income total: " + account("Income").total)
eval print("Income amount: " + account("Income").amount)
2017-01-01 * Test
Expenses $7
Income
eval print("Income total: " + account("Income").total)
eval print("Income amount: " + account("Income").amount)
eval print("Income total: " + account("Income").total)
eval print("Income amount: " + account("Income").amount)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running ledger -f test.ledger bal produces this
Income total: $-3
Income amount: $-3
Income total: $-11
Income amount: $-8
Income total: $-26
Income amount: $-15
Income total: $-26
Income amount: $-15
$15 Expenses
$-15 Income
--------------------
0
Where do the '$-11' and '$-26' come from? It appears that $-3 was
double-counted to get to $-11, and that $-3 was triple-counted (and $-5
double-counted) to get to $-26, but why?
Is this a bug? Could it be that 'total' uses a cache that doesn't get reset
between each call?
If not, can someone explain the difference between ".amount" and ".total"?
Thanks!
Clément.
