Help - Error when using version 2.3.4 after switching machines

[soubra]

Hi all --

Just switched machines and trying to re-install Beancount and not sure which version to use.

When running <bean-check personal.beancount> on my old machine (running beancount version 2.2.3), everything looks fine. Now running <bean-check personal.beancount> on my new machine (running beancount version 2.3.4), I get this error message almost for every line: 

<path>/personal.beancount:xxxx syntax error, unexpected INDENT

Any guidance here?

Thanks in advance,

soubra

Update - notice the emacs org-mode impact between versions

this works on v 2.2.3:

* Initialize journal

        option "title" "My Personal Ledger"

        ...

this works on v 2.3.4:

* Initialize journal

 option "title" "My Personal Ledger"

 ...

What happened in the new version? I am not being able to find the documentation regarding the reason why indentation/orgmode(s) are not supported anymore :/ 

Thanks for the help,

soubra

Indented directives was never supported AFAIK.

If it  happened to work back in the day, that was in error.

Thanks for the reply Martin. How are folks collapsing/expanding sections of their large .beancount files? That was the main reason I was using indented directives in the previous versions.

Example of how my file navigation used to look like:

I'm using outline-mode.

No indentation.

fill-column 400 (don't want any filling).

Just a few includes.

org-mode or outline-minor-mode do not require the content of the
sections to be indented. As Martin wrote, indented directives have never
been (intentionally) supported.

In the not too distant past, I cleaned up the parse implementation a bit
and tightened some aspects in preparation for Beancount v3. What you
observe is probably a consequence of this.

Cheers,
Dan

Yeah I think it was around that time.

Great, thanks again for the replies!
