Hi list! I'd like to use the `assert` directive to do a balance assertion of an account after `include`ing a journal file. I can't add the balance assertion to the included journal itself. I tried something like this:
assert amount account(assets:checking) == 27585.33 CNY It just says that the assertion failed, which I'm sure is because I haven't understood how to use value expressions. I read the documentation and noted that in section 11.1.1, there's a variable labelled "a" which says "... the balance of an account, without considering children". I tried to use that, but ledger returned "unknown identifier". I realized I could just add a transaction that assigns the balance of assets:checking, but that doesn't seem like the best way to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to assert an account's balance with `assert` or in some other way? Thanks! Randy -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
