I've just developed edtdbg, a small package that integrates R's debug() with one's text editor. Excerpt from the README file: Goal The debug() function in R is primitive. My goal was to make it more usable by integrating it with one's text editor. Hence I wrote the package here, edtdbg. Its features include: * As one steps from line to line of code

I think I am whistling in the wind, but is there a modern symbolic debugger for R programmes? I am working through some one else's code, thousands of lines, that has the occasional bug in it, and a lot in my understanding of it. I cannot make setBreakpoint or findLineNum work. I get "No source refs found.". I am starting to loose my mind! A debugger where I could set

One more comment: The utils::setBreakpoint() function should be updated to be able to set breakpoints in S7 methods, or a substitute function should be added to the S7 package. RStudio 2022.12.0+353 (not sure if that's the latest) also needs to be taught how to do that, since it doesn't seem to use setBreakpoint. Duncan Murdoch

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right list to ask this question (though I did not find a more appropriate one). I've started using R a month ago, and small scripts work fine. However, when I start writing more complex code, it gets messy. 1. Is there any way to debug "normally", with breakpoints? 2. I am using the Eclipse plugin (StatET), and tried JGR(). Is there an IDE that

Hello, I am using RStudio and have trouble finding out the problematic line in the presence of a bug. Could I view the line NUMBER which contains a bug? Is there any R editor able to do it? Thanks, Miao [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Can I run R code straight from R src (.R) file instead of .rdb/.rdx? I of course tried simply unzipping tar.gz in the R_LIBS directory but R complains with "not a valid installed package". Real issue: I am very new to R and all, so this could be something basic. I'm trying to use ess-tracebug (Emacs front-end to trace/browser et al). It works great when I trace functions in .R

We have had some conversation within R core, lead by Duncan Murdoch and me, about a proposal to extend the current tracingState() functionality by something tentatively called debuggingState(). Duncan has allowed me to copy the previous conversation (after very minor editing): The following is quite technical and assumes you know more about R's debug()ing and trace()ing than an estimated

Hi all, I am trying to debug an error of a function g defined and used inside another function f of a package. So I have f <- function(whatever){ ... g <- function(whatever2){ ... } ... } If I wanted to debug some thing directly inside f I would do debug(f). But this does not go inside g code. On the other hand, debug(g) does not work as g is not a defined function in the

Hi all, I am in the middle of debugging which is stopped using "browser()"... in myfile.R at around line #25. I was then stuck in a big loop which I want to escape and stop the program at the line after the big loop. In the debugging mode, I used Browse[2]> setBreakpoint("myfile.R#38") I then typed "c" and "ENTER", thinking that it will continue

Hi, I have some problem with setting breakpoints with gdb in order to debug some shared library for R. Classical use of gdb work well gcc -g -o footest.o footest.c gdb footest.o b 2 run ... but as i tried to use it with R : $ R -d gdb GNU gdb 5.2.1 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Hi all, I know this question has been asked in the past, but I am wondering if anyone running R on Linux has any guidance as to a text editor that works well with R. At the present time I am running R on Windows and using TINN-R. For a number of reasons I want to switch to Linux, but can't find much in the way of a text editor in sync with R. Any experiences, recommendations would be

Dear R-devel, We are pleased to inform you that the R Consortium OOP Working Group has been making progress on the S7 (formerly named R7) package and are preparing to submit it to CRAN. The S7 package is a new OOP system designed to be a successor to S3 and S4. As part of that effort, the group has identified a minimal set of narrow changes to base R that would allow S7 to exist as a CRAN

Hello everoyne, If you have ever used matlab you should know the variable editor. You click over the value of a variable in the workspace and it opens like a excel sheet. Do you know if there is something like that in R . This will make easier for me to understand what values are stored in a matrix. Also I am using rkward. Do you know if there is anyway to see the already defined variables?  I

Hi all, is there a more convenient way to debug R code than the built in debug() function? (so that one can set breakpoints, step in and out of function calls,...). I read the section on debugging compiled code in the manual "Writing R Extensions" (I only want to debug ordinary code but thought that maybe the advice there could help), but didn't find out how I can start

Hi, everyone. I am using a fair amount of closures in my code. Problem i am experiencing is i cannot figure out how to mtrace functions defined within a function. There must be some way to name such function for mtrace to see it and let me step into it. For example, say i have code mymodel<-function(){ data<-numeric(0) build<-function(){ data<<-1 } m<-list()

Dear all, (Sorry if the question has already been answered.) Could someone please suggest a good text editor for writing R sources ? (I know emacs exists ... but I find it a bit heavy). I use crimson (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) which is small and simple, but the R syntax seems not to be supported. Thanks for any advice

Hello, I have done some research about breakpoints (I am not a statistician) and I found out about the breakpoint, strucchange and segmented packages in R allowing to find breakpoints assuming linear model. However, I would like to fit a periodic time series with a non linear (periodic) model, and I was wondering how I could find breakpoints for this model in R. Is it even possible ? My model

Dear all, I'm trying to understand how the strucchange package is working and I have been looking at the examples given for the Fstats() function. The first example (Nile), shows one peak in the F-stats and one breakpoint is estimated, that can be plotted using the following code ## Nile data with one breakpoint: the annual flows drop in 1898 ## because the first Ashwan dam was built
