absolute_path_linter {lintr}

Absolute path linter

Description

Check that no absolute paths are used (e.g. "/var", "C:\System", "~/docs").

Usage

absolute_path_linter(lax = TRUE)

Arguments

lax

Less stringent linting, leading to fewer false positives. If TRUE, only lint path strings, which

• contain at least two path elements, with one having at least two characters and

• contain only alphanumeric chars (including UTF-8), spaces, and win32-allowed punctuation

# okay
lint(
  text = 'R"(./blah)"',
  linters = absolute_path_linter()
