This Emacs package is a Flymake’s backend for hledger: it reports errors in your accounting journal. The backend should work in both ledger-mode and hledger-mode but is only tested in the former.
This package is similar to flycheck-hledger except that the later relies on the external Flycheck engine whereas Flymake is built inside Emacs.
The simplest is to install the package using melpa. You may otherwise
prefer to clone the project into your Emacs configuration directory
and add the path to the load-path variable.
To enable Flymake in the current buffer, run M-x flymake-hledger-enable.
Feel free to add this command to the special
eval file or directory-local variables.
hledger features several checks including mandatory and optional
ones. Among the optional checks, flymake-hledger enables the strict
checks by default. You should modify the content of
flymake-hledger-checks to change the checks being run on your
journal. Here is an example of initialization code to add to your
Emacs configuration in case you want to enable a few more checks:
(dolist (check '("ordereddates" "payees" "recentassertions" "tags"))
(add-to-list 'flymake-hledger-checks check))If you are using ledger-mode any compatibility script assigned to
ledger-binary-path must have hledger at the end of the name.
