We added the more expressive "expr:" queries recently, but they don't give as much extra power as you'd think; eg they don't let us select whole transactions by the amount...
Reported on chat: a CSV date containing the time zone "Mountain Daylight Time" can't be parsed by hledger CSV rules. https://hledger.org/hledger.html#date-format understands the date format codes provided by https://hackage.haskell.org/package/time-1.11.1.2/docs/Data-Time-Format.html#v:formatTime. One...
When you are trying to troubleshoot a broken journal, you can't run useful queries like `hledger accounts` unless you first remove or comment out all unbalanced transactions. This feels awkward....
https://hledger.org/dev/hledger.html#matchers : "There's not yet an easy syntax to negate a matcher." We should have this, for if blocks (and possibly if tables ?)
Reported on chat: file wildcards (glob patterns) [aren't expanded in a Windows CMD shell](https://superuser.com/questions/460598/is-there-any-way-to-get-the-windows-cmd-shell-to-expand-wildcard-paths). This means that `hledger import *.csv` doesn't work on Windows (hledger sees a single `*.csv` argument...
Perhaps related to the change from pretty-show to pretty-simple. Unwanted spaces in dates and the `..`: ``` ~/src/hledger$ hledger-1.19 reg -p '2017..2018' --debug=3 requestedspan: DateSpan 2017 journalspan: DateSpan 2020-01-01 .....
https://github.com/haskell-crypto/cryptonite/issues/330 gives an example of how fromIntegral can easily bite you, causing silent data corruption. I don't know of any related bug in hledger, but we seem to use it...
I noted that balance assertions don't see a balance accumulated across files when using [multiple -f options](http://hledger.org/hledger.html#input-files). This is unexpected since balances displayed in reports do accumulate across these files....
We were seeing a very confusing, plausible-looking date error when trying to read a file named `FOO.CSV`. Adding `--debug` showed that hledger was trying to use the journal reader rather...
Reported on list today: hledger-web fails to start when no journal file exists yet. And if you have started it by clicking icons you won’t know why. We should provide...
