It's not a trivial task. How I wish I was using Rust to write this

Here an example that does it

Every time I open a .ledger file I get an error:

Cannot read journal file "/c%3A/path/to/ledger/file.ledger"

This is running 1.08 on VSCode 1.13.1 on Windows 10.

This will make it easier to solve #3 and will eventually make it possible to cut the dependency on binary file

This would allow ledger to source .ledgerrc and would be useful when the user has a multi-file ledger project. I think it would require changing the working directory to vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders[0], if defined, before invoking ledger.

(I know the project is abandoned, but perhaps someone else wants to make a fix starting from here?)

Can you update to support icu4c version 66?

Homebrew on my Mac upgraded icu4c from version 64 to version 66 and broke this ledger extension in VS Code.

I am getting the following error when opening a ledger file in VS Code:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicudata.64.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/boost/lib/libboost_regex-mt.dylib Reason: image not found

I do not have /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicudata.64.dylib but I do have /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicudata.66.dylib and the ledger extension is not recognizing it.

I think sorting them by how frequently they occurred in the file can improve the UX

I'm not convinced by how server is being packaged up. It is pulling into the client both the actual source and the tests, which is a bit too much.

Also, it forces the client to know about the src directory, which should be only an implementation detail, to find the compiled file.

The plugin crashes while opening my .ledger file.
I found that a combination of unclosed double quotes and commas in payee (description) may cause the problem.

a sample file

2017/08/22 "open quotes""
  A  1
  B

2017/08/23 Test a,b
  C  1
  A
  
2017/08/24 "close quotes""
  B  1
  A

If I have Expenses: and I trigger autocompletion, I want to get something like Expenses:Rent. Now what I get is Expenses:Expenses:Rent.
