similar to: R CMD check should check date in description

I was a bit suprised to note that demo files are not run as part of R CMD check. This seems out of keeping with the philosophy of running all code contained in the package (in the source, in examples etc). Should demo files be checked as part of R CMD check? Hadley

Hi, just a little wish : Could we have one (or maybe more) standardized optional tag(s) for package DESCRIPTION files to cover svn revision info? This would be very useful for bug reporting... I know that any developer is already free to append corresponding lines to DESCRIPTION files to do something of this sort --- e.g. lines like LastChangedDate: {$LastChangedDate: 2009-03-31 $}

Hi all (but especially Kurt), Would it be possible to have a flag to R CMD check that warned on partial all matches, i.e. turning on: options( warnPartialMatchDollar = TRUE, warnPartialMatchArgs = TRUE, warnPartialMatchAttr = TRUE ) I think this is good practice for package code. I don't think it can currently be made part of the default (because sometimes the warnings come from

Dear all, I've been struggling to perform common operations on dates that I need to be able to correct draw date-time scales - in particular I need to be able to round/truncate/ceiling dates to arbitrary precision - e.g. to weeks, months or years (or multiples thereof). I haven't been able to find anything to do this in base R (trunc.Date only truncates to sub-day units), or in the date

Hi all, Does anyone have any suggestions for debugging the execution of examples by R CMD check? The examples work fine when I run them from a live R prompt, but I get errors when they are run by R CMD check.

Hi all, I think there's an unnecessary line in [.Date which has a considerable impact on performance when subsetting large dates: x <- Sys.Date() + 1:1e6 microbenchmark::microbenchmark(x[1]) #> Unit: microseconds #> expr min lq mean median uq max neval #> x[1] 920.651 1039.346 3624.833 2294.404 3786.881 41176.38 100 `[.Date` <- function(x, ...,

Jan and Hadley, There's also the issue of tests, vignettes, or examples requiring Suggested packages (one of the core applications of Suggests, in fact). These are all checked by R CMD check, so to ensure any package which should pass check would do so without suggested packages installed would require turning all of those checks off, which takes quite a few of the teeth out of R CMD check

Dear R team, Are suggested dependencies mandatory in context of `R CMD check` when using env var `_R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_=FALSE`? Suggested dependencies are nice because are optional. But that feature often isn't valid when trying to run `R CMD check` on them. I would like to use `export _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_=FALSE`, which according to the comment in `tools/R/check.R`: > The

Make the example print out Sys.getenv() and then manually inspect? Otherwise, you'll need to debug the code by adding print statements. Something clearly is not as you expect, so you need carefully empirically verify your assumptions about the inputs to and environment of the function.

Hi all, Am I using the correct syntax to set a custom R_LIBS when running R CMD INSTALL from the command line?

Hi all, all.equal is generally very useful when you want to find the differences between two objects. It breaks down however, when you have two long strings to compare: > all.equal(a, b) [1] "1 string mismatch" Does any one know of any good text diffing tools implemented in R?

What do you prefer/recommend for double-banger function names: 1 scale.colour 2 scale_colour 3 scaleColour 1 is more R-like, but conflicts with S3. 2 is a modern version of number 1, but not many packages use it. Number 3 is more java-like. (I like number 2 best) Any suggestions? Thanks, Hadley

Hi all, Would someone mind pointing to me to the inspiration for the use of the L suffix to mean "integer"? This is obviously hard to google for, and the R language definition (https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-lang.html#Constants) is silent. Hadley -- http://hadley.nz

Hi all, Is there a better to way to subset the ROWs (in the sense of NROW) of an vector, matrix, data frame or array than this? subset_ROW <- function(x, i) { nd <- length(dim(x)) if (nd <= 1L) { x[i] } else { dims <- rep(list(quote(expr = )), nd - 1L) do.call(`[`, c(list(quote(x), quote(i)), dims, list(drop = FALSE))) } } subset_ROW(1:10, 4:6) #> [1] 4 5 6
