Failure/Error: @driver.find('//div[contains(., "Dropped!")]').should_not be_empty
expected empty? to return false, got true

Refactor List

Ledger Refactors

  • Stop passing so many arguments to the TransactionEntry directive:
    • accounts and fiscalYears, at least, can be derived from root scope
  • Global months
  • Don't use expand and collapse methods
  • Nodes have both isAccount and resourceType
