R Documentation

Create and copy e-mail package notification template to clipboard

Description

The \code{biocBuildEmail} function provides a template for notifying

maintainers of errors in the Bioconductor Build System (BBS). This convenience function returns the body of the email from a template within the package and provides a copy in the clipboard.

Usage

biocBuildEmail(
  pkg,
  version = c("release", "devel"),
  PS = character(1L),
  dry.run = TRUE,
  to = NULL,
  cc = NULL,
  bcc = NULL,
  emailTemplate = templatePath(),
  core.name = NULL,
  core.email = NULL,
  core.id = NULL,
  textOnly = FALSE,
  resend = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  credFile = "~/.blastula_creds"
)

Arguments

`pkg`	character(1) The name of the package in trouble
`version`	character() A vector indicating which version of Bioconductor the package is failing in (either 'release' or 'devel'; defaults to both)
`PS`	character(1) Postscript, an additional note to the recipient of the email (i.e., the package maintainer)
`dry.run`	logical(1) Display the email without sending to the recipient. It only works for HTML email reports and ignored when `textOnly=TRUE`
`to`	character() A vector of email addresses serving as primary recipients for the message. For secondary recipients, use the `cc` and `bcc` arguments.
`cc`, `bcc`	character() A vector of email addresses for sending the message as a carbon copy or blind carbon copy.
`emailTemplate`	character(1) The path to the email template Rmd file as obtained by `templatePath()`. A custom template can be provided as file path.
`core.name`	character(1) The full name of the core team member
`core.email`	character(1) The Roswell Park email of the core team member
`core.id`	character(1) The internal identifier for the Roswell employee. This ID usually matches `⁠^[A-Z]{2}[0-9]{5}⁠` for more recent identifiers.
`textOnly`	logical(1) Whether to return the text of the email only. This avoids the use of the 'blastula' package and adds the text to the system clipboard if the `clipr` package is installed (default: FALSE)
`resend`	logical(1) Whether to force a resend of the email
`verbose`	logical(1) Whether to output full email information from 'smtp_send' (when `dry.run` is `FALSE` and 'blastula' is installed)
`credFile`	character(1) An optional file generated by the `blastula::create_smtp_creds_file` function containing email authentication information (default: "~/.blastula_creds"). See `?biocBuildEmail` details.

Details

The credFile argument is a convenience for avoiding password entry at every instance an email is sent. If the default file ⁠~/.blastula_creds⁠ does not exist, the user will be prompted for authorization information. Currently it is configured to emails for the core-team:

        blastula::create_smtp_creds_file(
            file = "~/.blastula_creds",
            user = "user.email@domain.org",
            host = "smtp.office365.com",
            port = 587,
            use_ssl = TRUE
        )
