# will produce lints
lint(
  text = "sapply(x, mean)",

)

lint(
  text = "log10(x)",
  linters = undesirable_function_linter(fun = c("log10" = NA))
)

lint(
  text = "log10(x)",
  linters = undesirable_function_linter(fun = c("log10" = "use log()"))
)

lint(
  text = 'dir <- "path/to/a/directory"',
  linters = undesirable_function_linter(fun = c("dir" = NA))
)

# okay
lint(
  text = "vapply(x, mean, FUN.VALUE = numeric(1))",
  linters = undesirable_function_linter()
)
