similar to: seeing feedback when R CMD check pkg runs unit tests.

Hi All, I'm interested in putting some unit tests into an R package I'm building. I have seen assorted things such as Runit library, svUnit library, packages with 'tests' directories, etc I grep'd "unit test" through the writing R extensions manual but didn't find anything. Are there any suggestions out there? Currently I have several (a lot?) classes/methods

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for reading up on writing tests in R. I'm writing some functions for inclusion into a package and would like to test them to ensure they're doing what I expect them to do. Are these approaches used for testing packages in CRAN? Cheers, Nathan - -- -

Hi, I wonder what kind of interest there is on Test Driven Development (TDD) in R. Test Driven Development consists of writing the test before the function, and iteratively build the function until it passes the test. Python and Ruby (specially Ruby) have very strong test-oriented cultures. In fact, in Ruby at least the custom is to do TDD and lately Behavior-driven development (BDD). In BDD,

Can anyone share some opinions on test suites for R packages? I'm looking at testthat and RUnit. Does anyone have strong opinions on either of those. Any additional packages I should consider? Thanks, Whit

Hello, All: How can I obtain the location of an example data file in a package during "R CMD check"? I want to include sample raw data files in a package and have them read by a function in the package. It occurs to me to put such a file in "\inst\rawdata" and have examples find the data using something like "system.file('rawdata',

I''d like to announce the second release of capistrano-runit-tasks, available from http://rubyforge.org/projects/cappy-runit/ It now supports: * File based templates * sv as the service control command in addition to runsvctrl * A much simpler interface for creating additional services. More work still needs to be done though! == TODO * Allow add_service to create more than one

I''d like to announce the first release of capistrano-runit-tasks. This came about as I wanted to use runit rather than spinner/spawner/ reaper on my memory limited VPS but should be useable for any setup. From the README: This library extends Capistrano to allow processes to be supervised using the runit package. It replaces some of the standard tasks with runit versions and

My R code has got too complex to have a non-modular approach. Ive done some coding in other languages before, but I somehow cant figure out R's general rules for global and local variables. I have put a simple code below, if anyone can show me what i need to add to make this work, i would greatly appreciate it! #---------------------------------------- g_Means<-numeric()

Having used JUnit and PyUnit, I was pleased to see the release of the RUnit package on CRAN. I'm wondering if there are any RUnit users out there that would be willing to share some tips on how they organize their code to work with RUnit. Specifically, I'm wondering about the best way to load/import/source the functions to be tested. I would like to end up with a script, testall or some

Hi -- I have been reading documentation and googling around to find the correct way to do this but I have found many ways that seem to not work, or the documentation makes no reference to. I am using mongrel cluster with 10 mongrels for each server. Recently I installed monit but which lead me to find the correct way to start/stop mongrel instances one pid at a time. I am assuming one pid at a

Hi, I'm trying to use dovecot-lmtp so that I can filter messages with sieve, however it doesn't appear to be working. I followed the instructions on wiki2.dovecot.org. I'm running Debian Wheezy. I've got runit configured to execute postfix and dovecot, which may be the source of the problem (runit executes /usr/sbin/dovecot -F). I've got mail_debug turned on and there is

Hello, I am migrating my package lambda.r to R3.0.0 and am experiencing some issues with the getParserData function (which replaces the parser package). Basically the function works in the R shell but fails when either called from RUnit or from R CMD check. I've narrowed it down to the function getSrcfile, which is returning different values depending on the code path. From the command line

Hello R developers, installing R 2.0.0 from source on a Linux Debian system (gcc 3.2.2) - which worked just fine - I encountered the following problem when trying to update/install packages with the option --with-package-versions: example: RUnit 0.4.0 (also on CRAN) R20 CMD INSTALL -l /mnt/local/R/R-2.0.x-libs-EpiR --with-package-versions RUnit_0.4.0.tar.gz or after untaring R20 CMD INSTALL

I propose the following humbly, with little know how as to how to implement, and realize it may have been proposed many times. It is just something I had on my mind. Would it be possible/desirable to have the whole CRAN package repository accessible through a public wiki, forge or version control interface (ideally a fusion of the wiki and forge approach)? It appears it would be a first for a

Hello! I have looked at Martin's recent work on "merging" unit tests with R CMD check, fused it with my and Tony's contributions and developed it a bit further. Take a look into the attached demo package on how it works. In essence: PKG/inst/RUnitTests |- runRUnitTests.R (script to run RUnit tests) \- ... (any RUnit test file)

Hi, I''m deploying Unicorn on a Rails application with RUnit. Technically I''m using Chef''s deployment tools, if any of you are familiar with it (https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/application_ruby) but to be clear they aren''t doing anything magical, so this is purely an issue with RUnit and Unicorn. The TL;DR of the following post, which has lots of

Folks, An RUnit test suite is failing after all tests are complete with the following message: Error in parse(n = -1, file = file) : unexpected '}' at 620: 621: } All individual tests work when run individually, and all but one run within the RUnit test suite. What might be causing this? A similar error message during package creation was discussed earlier

>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

Hi! I appologize for crossposting, but this might be of broader interest. In case you are interested in fusing RUnit with R CMD check under unix alike OS, here is one way of doing/hacking this. My aim was to 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 | `-
