Unlike categories/tags, accounts are NOT auto-created by `tx add`, create them explicitly here first. +**Validate a batch before writing any of it:** when importing many rows in a +loop, a mid-batch failure (a `--to` account that doesn't exist yet) leaves the +earlier rows already written. Dry-run each row first so the whole batch fails +fast: `tx add ... --dry-run` resolves `--from`/`--to` and infers the type but +sends nothing, printing `{"dry_run": true, "would_send": {...}}`. A missing +account is still a hard error (exit 1). Recipe: dry-run every row, create any +accounts the errors name, then run the batch for real. + **Check a balance:** ```bash firefly account balance test01 # -> {"id","name","current_balance"} |
