'WvL> Here is a simplified example of what I found
'WvL> 2016-08-19 OpeningBalances
'WvL> Assets:Cash £ 3
'WvL> Equity:OpeningBalances
'WvL> 2016-09-25 X
'WvL> Expenses:Other £ 2
'WvL> Assets:Cash = £ 1
'WvL> 2016-09-26 X
'WvL> Expenses:Other £ 1
'WvL> Assets:Cash = £ 1 ; I would expect this to fail
Just to note, a balance assertion that has no associated amount will always
just adjust the balance to match.
Now, I edited this file to get rid of a lot of really strange whitespace, and
I changed the currency to $, just to rule out all strangeness. After I did
that, I got the output I expected to see:
Vulcan ~/dl $ ledger -f foo.dat reg
While parsing file "/Users/johnw/Downloads/foo.dat", line 11:
While balancing transaction from "/Users/johnw/Downloads/foo.dat", lines 9-11:
> 2022/09/26 X
> Expenses:Other $1
> Assets:Cash = $1
Unbalanced remainder is:
$1
Amount to balance against:
$1
Error: Transaction does not balance
