CLOSE
date for queries stored in the ledger
#134
According to the documentation for the
query
directive https://beancount.github.io/docs/beancount_language_syntax.html#query:However, when the code was origianlly written and till commit 6683356 this was not the case run from the beanquery shell as
run query-name
but only for queries run as part ofrun *
.I fear that implementing it for query execution that didn't implement it till now is going to break people workflows. However, I find the automatic CLOSE date functionality surprising enough that having it implemented only for queries executed with
run *
and not for other cases is just too confusing. Therefore, I'm reluctant to revert the change.While I think that using the
query
directive date for the CLOSE clause is a neat idea, I'm tempted to keep things simple and just remove support for automatic CLOSE date and keep. What do you think? @blais do you use this functionality?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
