Hello,
Is the following behavior a bug?
Given the leger file at /tmp/foo.ledger containing exactly
--
2022-01-01 * Buy FOO
Assets:Brokerage 10 FOO @ $1.00
Assets:Cash $-10.00
P 2022-01-02 23:59:00 FOO $2.00
2022-01-03 * Buy more FOO
Assets:Brokerage 2.5 FOO @ $4.00
Income:Cash $-10.00
--
and these environment settings
--
$ export LEDGER_FILE=/tmp/foo.ledger
$ export LEDGER_PAGER=cat
--
I find that a balance report with an --end option produces these
outputs, varying only whether the --market option is used:
--
$ ledger --end 2022-01-03 bal --balance-format '%A\t%t\n' /Brokerage/
Assets:Brokerage 10.0 FOO
$ ledger --market --end 2022-01-03 bal --balance-format '%A\t%t\n' /Brokerage/
Assets:Brokerage $40.00
--
The first invocation ignores the 2.5 FOO from the posting on 2022-01-03,
but the second seems to use the price in that posting. That is, the
--end date appears to act as an upper exclusive bound for the purpose of
summing postings, but seemingly not as an exclusive bound for price db
lookup involved in calculating market value.
[If this somehow isn't a bug, it looks like one workaround is to use (@)
and (@@) instead of @ or @@ in postings. That's good enough for my
needs, I think.]
In case it matters, I'm using this version of Ledger:
--
$ ledger --version
