foghorn noun 1. Device used to facilitate navigation in foggy conditions by warning of potential hazards ahead.
foghorn
makes accessible to the R terminal the CRAN check results for
packages maintained by individuals, or for other packages of interest.
The results are presented as a colored summary, or as a tibble. The
function that generates the summary is designed to be called from your
.Rprofile
so you can check on the status of the packages regularly.
As new features are introduced in development versions of R, or new
policies are put in place, packages that are not updated frequently may
start generating warnings or errors when checked on CRAN’s
infrastructure. foghorn
brings this information to your terminal so
you don’t have to leave the comfort of your R session to know the
results of the CRAN checks for your packages.
You can install the development version of foghorn
from GitHub
with:
pak::pkg_install("fmichonneau/foghorn")
or the stable version from CRAN:
install.packages("foghorn")
## load the package
library(foghorn)
foghorn
provides the results of the package CRAN checks. As a
maintainer, you can easily get the results of the checks for your
packages by using the email address included in the DESCRIPTION
file
of your packages.
summary_cran_results()
provides you with a graphical summary of the
results of the CRAN checks. The number in parenthesis after the name of
the package indicates the number of platforms used by CRAN that produced
this result. If CRAN has set a deadline by which your package needs to
be updated before it gets archived, that date will be shown in the
output.
## Graphical interface
summary_cran_results(email = "francois.michonneau@gmail.com", pkg = "lme4")
#> ✔ All clear for foghorn, phylobase, and riceware!
#> ★ Packages with notes on CRAN:
#> - lme4 (11) [Fix before: 2024-07-16]
#> - rncl (12)
#> - rotl (10)
#> ◉ Package with other issues on CRAN:
#> - lme4 [Fix before: 2024-07-16]
summary_cran_results()
is actually an alias of
summary(cran_results())
, meaning that you can call cran_results()
directly if you want to easily access the underlying data for the
results of the CRAN checks. These results are stored in a tibble.
## Results of the checks as a tibble
cran_results(email = "francois.michonneau@gmail.com")
#> # A tibble: 5 × 8
#> package error fail warn note ok deadline has_other_issues
#> <chr> <int> <int> <int> <int> <int> <chr> <lgl>
#> 1 foghorn 0 0 0 0 13 <NA> FALSE
#> 2 phylobase 0 0 0 0 13 <NA> FALSE
#> 3 riceware 0 0 0 0 13 <NA> FALSE
#> 4 rncl 0 0 0 12 1 <NA> FALSE
#> 5 rotl 0 0 0 10 3 <NA> FALSE
In addition of your own packages, you can also check the results for any other packages that might be of interest to you:
## either by themselves
summary_cran_results(pkg = c("ggplot2", "dplyr"))
#> ★ Packages with notes on CRAN:
#> - dplyr (5)
#> - ggplot2 (8)
cran_results(pkg = c("ggplot2", "dplyr"))
#> # A tibble: 2 × 8
#> package error fail warn note ok deadline has_other_issues
#> <chr> <int> <int> <int> <int> <int> <chr> <lgl>
#> 1 dplyr 0 0 0 5 8 <NA> FALSE
#> 2 ggplot2 0 0 0 8 5 <NA> FALSE
## or by combining them with email addresses
summary_cran_results(
email = "francois.michonneau@gmail.com",
pkg = c("arrow", "duckdb")
)
#> ✔ All clear for foghorn, phylobase, and riceware!
#> ⚠ Package with warnings on CRAN:

You can inspect the logs for the check results using
summary_cran_details(pkg)
(or summary(cran_details(pkg))
), while
visit_cran_check(pkg)
takes you directly to the CRAN webpage.

The data from the check results used by this package are either scraped
from the CRAN web pages (default), or are from the CRAN database (that
CRAN uses to build the webpages). The first option is faster if you want
to regularly check a few packages. However, if you are doing statistics
on a large number of packages, using the CRAN database is recommended
(it’s about 20Mb of data). To use the CRAN database, add
src = "crandb"
in your function calls:
cran_results(pkg = "nlme", src = "crandb", progress = FALSE)
#> # A tibble: 1 × 8
#> package error fail warn note ok deadline has_other_issues
#> <chr> <int> <int> <int> <int> <int> <chr> <lgl>
#> 1 nlme 0 0 0 0 13 <NA> FALSE
