test_examples_as_testthat: Execute examples from Rd files as 'testthat' tests

In testex: Add Tests to Examples

Execute examples from Rd files as testthat tests

Description

Reads examples from Rd files and constructs testthat-style tests. testthat expectations are built such that

Usage

test_examples_as_testthat(
  package,
  path,
  ...,
  test_dir = file.path(tempdir(), "testex-tests"),
  clean = TRUE,
  overwrite = TRUE,
  roxygenize = !is_r_cmd_check() && uses_roxygen2(path),
  reporter = testthat::get_reporter()
)

Arguments

package	A package name whose examples should be tested
path	Optionally, a path to a source code directory to use. Will only have an effect if parameter package is missing.
...	Additional argument unused
test_dir	An option directory where test files should be written. Defaults to a temporary directory.
clean	Whether the test_dir should be removed upon completion of test execution. Defaults to TRUE.
overwrite	Whether files should be overwritten if test_dir already exists. Defaults to TRUE.
roxygenize	Whether R documentation files should be re-written using roxygen2 prior to testing. When not FALSE, tests written in roxygen2 tags will be used to update R documentation files prior to testing to use the most up-to-date example tests. May be TRUE, or a list of arguments passed to roxygen2::roxygenize. By default, only enabled when running outside of ⁠R CMD check⁠ and while taking roxygen2 as a dependency.
reporter	A testthat reporter to use. Defaults to the active reporter in the testthat environment or default reporter.

Details

1. Each example expression is expected to run without error

2. Any testex expectations are expected to pass

Generally, you won't need to use this function directly. Instead, it is called by a file generated by use_testex_as_testthat() which will add any testex example tests to your existing testthat testing suite.

Value

The result of testthat::source_file(), after iterating over generated test files.

Note

It is assumed that this function is used within a testthat run, when the necessary packages are already installed and loaded.

Examples

# library(pkg.example)
path <- system.file("pkg.example", package = "testex")
test_examples_as_testthat(path = path)
