isInteractive: Alternative to 'interactive()' for unit testing

In reproducible: Enhance Reproducibility of R Code

Alternative to interactive() for unit testing

Description

This is a suggestion from https://github.com/MangoTheCat/blog-with-mock/blob/master/Blogpost1.Rmd as a way to test interactive code in unit tests. Basically, in the unit tests, we use testthat::with_mock, and inside that we redefine isInteractive just for the test. In all other times, this returns the same things as interactive().

Usage

isInteractive()
