...perform unit tests: (1) during R CMD check (2) at any other time Say you have a package PKG in a map PKG. I use the following structure PKG |- R |- ... |- inst | |- doc | `- unitTests |- ... `- tests Then the following files (content is at the end of the mail) are used: - PKG/tests/doRUnit.R - PKG/inst/unitTests/Makefile - PKG/inst/unitTests/runit.*.R Now when I launch cd /some/path/PKG/.. R CMD check PKG doRUnit.R in map tests is sourced and all unit tests in PKG/inst/unitTests are issued - aim (1). Output of tests can be seen in either: - PKG.Rcheck/tests/doRUnit.Rout...

...in my current environment have no effect on the tests. The only workaround that I've come up with is to add require statements to the top of each test file, but this is a bit onerous. My question is whether 1) there is a technique to force the test harness script (e.g. tests/run_tests.R, tests/doRUnit.R) to be copied into the installed source package, or 2) there is a way to have testInstalledPackage force the loading of required packages prior to executing test scripts, or 3) has someone already done this? Thanks and Regards, Brian

>From NEWS of R v2.6.0 devel: o R CMD check now does a recursive copy on the 'tests' directory. However, R CMD check does not run *.R scripts in such subdirectories (as I thought/hoped for), only those directly under tests/, This may or may not be intentional. If true, maybe the above should be clarified as: o R CMD check now does a recursive copy on the 'tests' directory

I try the 10 first package, and 10 other at random, but none of them use tests... >>> Create tests/myPack.R

Dear all, in the coming Winter Semester, I will be a teaching assistant for a course in Survival Analysis. My job will be to do the lab sessions. The software used for these lab sessions will be R. Most of the students have a background in social sciences and the only stats package they used so far is most likely SPSS. So I assume they might be quite surprised the first time they see R
