run_examples {devtools}

Run all examples in a package.

Description

One of the most frustrating parts of ⁠R CMD check⁠ is getting all of your examples to pass - whenever one fails you need to fix the problem and then restart the whole process. This function makes it a little easier by making it possible to run all examples from an R function.

Usage

run_examples(
  pkg = ".",
  start = NULL,
  show = deprecated(),
  run_donttest = FALSE,
  run_dontrun = FALSE,
  fresh = FALSE,
  document = TRUE,
  run = deprecated(),
  test = deprecated()
)

Arguments

pkg

The package to use, can be a file path to the package or a package object. See as.package() for more information.

start

Where to start running the examples: this can either be the name of Rd file to start with (with or without extensions), or a topic name. If omitted, will start with the (lexicographically) first file. This is useful if you have a lot of examples and don't want to rerun them every time you fix a problem.

show

DEPRECATED.

run_donttest

if TRUE, do run ⁠\donttest⁠ sections in the Rd files.

run_dontrun

if TRUE, do run ⁠\dontrun⁠ sections in the Rd files.

fresh

if TRUE, will be run in a fresh R session. This has the advantage that there's no way the examples can depend on anything in the current session, but interactive code (like browser()) won't work.

document

if TRUE, document() will be run to ensure examples are updated before running them.

run, test

Deprecated, see run_dontrun and run_donttest above.
