checkAtomic: Check that an argument is an atomic vector

In checkmate: Fast and Versatile Argument Checks

Check that an argument is an atomic vector

Description

For the definition of “atomic”, see is.atomic.

Note that 'NULL' is recognized as a valid atomic value, as in R versions up to version 4.3.x. For details, see https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2023-September/082892.html.

Usage

checkAtomic(
  x,
  any.missing = TRUE,
  all.missing = TRUE,
  len = NULL,
  min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL,
  unique = FALSE,
  names = NULL
)

check_atomic(
  x,
  any.missing = TRUE,
  all.missing = TRUE,
  len = NULL,
  min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL,
  unique = FALSE,
  names = NULL
)

assertAtomic(
  x,
  any.missing = TRUE,
  all.missing = TRUE,
  len = NULL,
  min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL,
  unique = FALSE,
  names = NULL,
  .var.name = vname(x),
  add = NULL
)

assert_atomic(
  x,
  any.missing = TRUE,
  all.missing = TRUE,
  len = NULL,
  min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL,
  unique = FALSE,
  names = NULL,
  .var.name = vname(x),
  add = NULL
)

testAtomic(
  x,
  any.missing = TRUE,
  all.missing = TRUE,
  len = NULL,
  min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL,
  unique = FALSE,
  names = NULL
)

test_atomic(
  x,
  any.missing = TRUE,
  all.missing = TRUE,
  len = NULL,
  min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL,
  unique = FALSE,
  names = NULL
)

expect_atomic(
  x,
  any.missing = TRUE,
  all.missing = TRUE,
  len = NULL,
  min.len = NULL,
  max.len = NULL,
  unique = FALSE,
  names = NULL,
  info = NULL,
  label = vname(x)
)

Arguments

x	[any] Object to check.
any.missing	[logical(1)] Are vectors with missing values allowed? Default is TRUE.
all.missing	[logical(1)] Are vectors with no non-missing values allowed? Default is TRUE. Note that empty vectors do not have non-missing values.
len	[integer(1)] Exact expected length of x.
min.len	[integer(1)] Minimal length of x.
max.len	[integer(1)] Maximal length of x.
unique	[logical(1)] Must all values be unique? Default is FALSE.
names	[character(1)] Check for names. See checkNamed for possible values. Default is “any” which performs no check at all. Note that you can use checkSubset to check for a specific set of names.
.var.name	[character(1)] Name of the checked object to print in assertions. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.
add	[AssertCollection] Collection to store assertion messages. See AssertCollection.
info	[character(1)] Extra information to be included in the message for the testthat reporter. See expect_that.
label	[character(1)] Name of the checked object to print in messages. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.

Value

Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, the functions assertAtomic/assert_atomic return x invisibly, whereas checkAtomic/check_atomic and testAtomic/test_atomic return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertAtomic/assert_atomic throws an error message, testAtomic/test_atomic returns FALSE, and checkAtomic/check_atomic return a string with the error message. The function expect_atomic always returns an expectation.
