I'm having the same issue.
Example file:
~ Monthly from 2024/02/15
Expenses:Rent $500.00
Assets
Command:
$ ledger -f test.dat --forecast "d<[2025]" register Expenses:Rent
24-Apr-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent
$500.00 $500.00
24-May-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent
$500.00 $1000.00
24-Jun-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent
$500.00 $1500.00
24-Jul-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent
$500.00 $2000.00
24-Aug-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent
$500.00 $2500.00
24-Sep-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent
$500.00 $3000.00
24-Oct-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent
$500.00 $3500.00
24-Nov-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent
$500.00 $4000.00
24-Dec-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent
$500.00 $4500.00
Update example file:
~ Monthly from 2024/04/15
Expenses:Rent $500.00
Assets
Same command gives empty output.
The other thing I'm noticing is the periodic expressions don't respect
exact dates. If my rent is due on the 15th, and my period expression
denotes that, I'd expect the forecasted transactions to be on the 15th.
