best way to check that no implicit conversions are happening?

[Will Robinson]

Hi there,

The below file passes a "check -s". But I am looking for a check that forces me to uncomment the commented-out lines, such that the accounting equation actually balances. I can achieve this by simply removing the "@@" directives on the first two lines of the test transaction. But is there any other way to force this check while still having the "@@" lines?

Thanks,

Will

Hi, I think not - only one you'd make yourself by checking that bse report has a zero total. Perhaps such a check should be added ?

(relatedly, I'm not happy with the naming of the check command's "balanced" checks.

It seems like it would have to be that the "bse" report total matches the "is" report total, no?

Ah well yes, or after closing revenues/expenses to equity (hledger close --retain).
