xp_call_name: Get the name of the function matched by an XPath

In jimhester/lintr: A 'Linter' for R Code

Get the name of the function matched by an XPath

Description

Often, it is more helpful to tailor the message of a lint to record which function was matched by the lint logic. This function encapsulates the logic to pull out the matched call in common situations.

Usage

xp_call_name(expr, depth = 1L, condition = NULL)

Arguments

expr	An xml_node or xml_nodeset, e.g. from xml2::xml_find_all().
depth	Integer, default 1L. How deep in the AST represented by expr should we look to find the call? By default, we assume expr is matched to an ⁠<expr>⁠ node under which the corresponding ⁠<SYMBOL_FUNCTION_CALL>⁠ node is found directly. depth = 0L means expr is matched directly to the SYMBOL_FUNCTION_CALL; depth > 1L means depth total ⁠<expr>⁠ nodes must be traversed before finding the call.
condition	An additional (XPath condition on the SYMBOL_FUNCTION_CALL required for a match. The default (NULL) is no condition. See examples.

Examples

xml_from_code <- function(str) {
  xml2::read_xml(xmlparsedata::xml_parse_data(parse(text = str, keep.source = TRUE)))
}
xml <- xml_from_code("sum(1:10)")
xp_call_name(xml, depth = 2L)

xp_call_name(xml2::xml_find_first(xml, "expr"))

xml <- xml_from_code(c("sum(1:10)", "sd(1:10)"))
xp_call_name(xml, depth = 2L, condition = "text() = 'sum'")
