When I attempt to import a
CSVfrom my bank and I specify the--catchupoption, the command runs successfully, however, the.latest.sample.csvstate file is not written. The existence of the file and it's content do not seem to have an impact on whether the command updates/creates the file.I've been able to reproduce this issue reliably on versions above
1.31. The issue seems to have been introduced in1.32and I think it may be a regression as I couldn't find anything in the release notes suggesting it was an intentional change.Please let me know if you need anything else to reproduce or if this is a problem on my end. Thanks!
Steps To Reproduce
Note, the commands assume you have the
LEDGER_FILEenvironmental variable specified.>=1.32CSVthat contains valid transactions for importinghledger import --catchup sample.csv.latest.sample.csvto see if it was created or updatedno new transactions found in CSVExpected Result
The command finishes successfully, prints the number of transactions skipped, and updated the
.latest.sample.csvfile with the latest dates.Notes
When I run the
importcommand without--catchup, the journal file is updated and the.latest.sample.csvfile is created/updated correctly. The--catchupoption works for me in version1.31so I'll continue using that for now.
