Re: Unexpected balance verification
Okay thankyou for your patience, just for the record, on a MacOS 12 machine I get the problem e.g., 2016-08-19 OpeningBalances Assets:Cash £ 3 Equity:OpeningBalances 2016-09-25 X Expenses:Other £ 2 Assets:Cash 2016-09-26 X Expenses:Other £ 1 Assets:Cash = £ 1 ; On a MacOS 12 machine, ledger is accepting anything ; between -0.5 and 1 here! But on an up to date machine the transaction is rejected.

BTW, if I rename "Assets:Cash" to another account it works fine. So the problem is 2 balance assignments to the same account after each other.

Unexpected balance verification
Hi, I found a transaction in my ledger for which I think balance verification should fail but ledger accepts it. I am using 3.3.0. Here is a simplified example of what I found 2016-08-19 OpeningBalances Assets:Cash £ 3 Equity:OpeningBalances 2016-09-25 X Expenses:Other £ 2 Assets:Cash = £ 1 2016-09-26 X Expenses:Other £ 1 Assets:Cash = £ 1 ; I would expect this to fail I discovered this while playing with https://docs.rs/ledger-utils/latest/ledger_utils/ Not causing me a problem but thought it was worth mentioning Regards Dave -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
