Compiling our guile scripts will run loaded libraries. One of the libraries to
load is the engine library which expects to find the enabled backends (xml and or dbi).
If those aren't built yet, this will result in error messages printed in the build output.
test arguments, deprecated as well as new mode arguments
test creating a session with a new xml file using __init__()
and begin(). Test raising exception when opening nonexistent
file without respective mode setting.
default_arguments_decorator until now only allows positional
argument defaults. This adds keyword defaults. The keywords
can be mapped to the positional arguments by optional argument
kargs_pos so interactions between keyword and positional arg
defaults can raise a TypeError. Some more information in
the docstring is included. In addition the docstring of
the wrapped function will be modified to contain information
about the defaults.
allow keyword arguments for function_class methods
and functions. process_dict_convert_to_instance() is added to
mimic the behavior of the process_list_convert_to_instance()
Derived methods in gnucash_core.py like raise_backend_errors_after_call
get modified to accept being called with keyword args.
Also adds some docstrings.
the deprecation submodule will house content related to deprecation.
That is general convenience function and functions related to specific
deprecation issues. The latter starts with decorator functions to bridge
the change in qof_session_begin argument change to SessionOpenMode.
subtle bug here-- used string-hash to convert guid-string to a number
which is faster to use as hash key. but string-hash does not guarantee
that there are no hash collisions. it is best to use guid string
instead which is guaranteed to uniquely define a split.
For clarity. In so doing found the backend behavior a bit inconsistent
so it's modified to do what the enum values indicate.
In the course of changing the various calls I found some implementation
errors in the back end and corrected them.
make gnc_path_get_localedir() and GETTEXT_PACKAGE available for python
to access locales. Import gettext module to provide _ as translator
method. Provide null _-method returning english text in case of missing gettext.
Make a lot of messages translatable by adding _-method. Include python
files to create .pot-files.
The previous fix didn't calculate the comparison time correctly and
ended up in the wrong day because the GMT time is before the local time.
In the course of checking the corner-case timezones (Midway and
Kiritimati) I found an error in the GncDateTime calculation of the
neutral time, so fixed that too.
Reported for Invoices on gnucash-user. Checked all other uses of
xaccTransSetPostDateSecs(), fixed the ones that weren't passing an
already normalized time64. For Invoices change the post_date to also be
normalized so that it stays the same as the transaction post_date. That
also protects it from the displayed date changing depending on timezone.
The python binding invoice post_time test had to be changed to match.
This also drops the python wrapper for gnc-module. As for the guile wrappers,
python should use other means of loading our shared libraries.
This commit required a few tweaks to the dependency chain as some units
inherited dependency information from gnc-module's public dependency
interface.
