In scriptests: Transcript-Based Unit Tests that are Easy to Create and Maintain

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s)

These are support functions for package scriptests. They are called to prepare a test directory for running tests, compare the output of each test with target out, and summarize test results.

ScripDiff(commandfile, outfile = NULL, savefile = NULL,
          debug = FALSE, R.suf = "R")
initializeTests(debug = FALSE, create.Rout.save = FALSE,
                addSelfCheck = FALSE, pattern = NULL, subst = NULL, R.suf = "R")
summarizeTests(debug = FALSE)

`commandfile`	The name of the file containing R commands.
`outfile`	The name of the file containing R output.
`savefile`	The name of the file containing pre-existing R output to compare against.
`debug`	Debugging flag.
`create.Rout.save`	Should a `.Rout.save` file be created. Default is `FALSE`.
`addSelfCheck`	Controls an unused an obselete feature of adding extra code to the end of the R commands that will check the output created.
`pattern`	Only process test files whose name matches `pattern`
`subst`	Substitutions to make when parsing the transcript file.
`R.suf`	The suffix (not including a dot) to use for auto-generated files containing R commands.

initializeTests: Pre-process tests, writing commands to a file, and creating a file with a saved R object containing information to analyze the results of the test.
ScripDiff: Compare test output against desired output and summarize the differences.
summarizeTests: Summarize the results of all tests.

Returns the value 0 on successful completion.
