test file

If I launch reg on attached file, I got, for date near 2009/07/31:

--------------------8<--------------------8<--------------------8<----------
$ ledger --args-only --decimal-comma --file /tmp/thierry.hledger.AIA --no-pager reg Actif:Invest:Broker
09-Jun-30 Broker Actif:Invest:Broker 0,01 $ 340,16 $
09-Jun-30 Dividende Actif:Invest:Broker 66,50 $ 406,66 $
09-Jul-31 Broker Actif:Invest:Broker 0,02 $ 406,68 $
--------------------8<--------------------8<--------------------8<----------

But in my file, I have the following transaction:

--------------------8<--------------------8<--------------------8<----------
2009/07/31 * Broker
Actif:Invest:Broker 0,02 $ = 406,66 $
Revenu:Invest:Intérêt -0,02 $
Revenu:Devise -0,02 $
Revenu:Devise 0,02 $
--------------------8<--------------------8<--------------------8<----------

As we can see, the "reg" command is giving the correct math computed result, that is 406,68. The expected syntax error, is that it should have failed saying that on 2009/07/31, balance should be 406,68. In my file I have 406,66 that is not correct.

So ledger does not check the balance assertions in this use case.
I have found this use case, while using hledger 0.25, that is correctly catching the balance mismatch.

ledger command is actually this one (with correct filename):

ledger --args-only --decimal-comma --file test_32.ledger --columns=72 --no-pager reg Actif:Invest:Broker

another test file

I attach another test file, even simpler, where the balance assertion is not checked.

The command is:

ledger --args-only --decimal-comma --file test_32_1.ledger --columns=72 --no-pager reg Autre

But this should fail, as expected balance on first transaction is -126 (not 0).
