run_examples: Run all examples in a package.

In devtools: Tools to Make Developing R Packages Easier

Run all examples in a package.

Description

One of the most frustrating parts of R CMD check is getting all of your examples to pass - whenever one fails you need to fix the problem and then restart the whole process. This function makes it a little easier by making it possible to run all examples from an R function.

Usage

run_examples(
  pkg = ".",
  start = NULL,
  show = deprecated(),
  run_donttest = FALSE,
  run_dontrun = FALSE,
  fresh = FALSE,
  document = TRUE,
  run = deprecated(),
  test = deprecated()
)

Arguments

pkg	The package to use, can be a file path to the package or a package object. See as.package() for more information.
start	Where to start running the examples: this can either be the name of Rd file to start with (with or without extensions), or a topic name. If omitted, will start with the (lexicographically) first file. This is useful if you have a lot of examples and don't want to rerun them every time you fix a problem.
show	DEPRECATED.
run_donttest	if TRUE, do run \donttest sections in the Rd files.
run_dontrun	if TRUE, do run \dontrun sections in the Rd files.
fresh	if TRUE, will be run in a fresh R session. This has the advantage that there's no way the examples can depend on anything in the current session, but interactive code (like browser()) won't work.
document	if TRUE, document() will be run to ensure examples are updated before running them.
run, test	Deprecated, see run_dontrun and run_donttest above.
