How to test w/o committing

[Jeffrey Honig]

As I'm developing my code I'd like to do test transactions.  Basically create the transaction, print it out with ledger() but not commit it.

It seems piecash (or the SQL lib) wants to auto-flush the transaction.

If I use book.cancel() at the end of my transaction(s) will that prevent it from being commited?

Thanks.

hello Jeff,

Indeed, the cancel should remove all the changes you have done.

Always make a backup before changing your gnucash book! If you use the sqlite backend, you can use the do_backup argument of open_book (see http://piecash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/piecash.core.session.html#piecash.core.session.open_book)
