similar to: Unit Testing Frameworks: summary and brief discussion

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

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

There appears to be a bug in RUnit. Given a testsuite testsuite.math, say, when I run: runTestSuite(testsuite.math) this works fine, provided there are no extraneous files in the unit test subdirectory. But if there are any Emacs temp files (with names that end with '~') then runTestSuite gets confused and tries to run functions from the temp files as well. [[alternative HTML version

In a quick search of the R website just now, I found no mention of a unit testing framework for R. I hope to find something in the style of Java's JUnit, or Python's unittest. Is such a thing available? Thanks, - Paul Shannon Institute for Systems Biology Seattle

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

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, 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

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)

I found the following 2 problems (no debugging, sorry). * qt(0.975, 3) never returns. Can someone please check that? Happens for me on Debian GNU/Linux/ix86 compiled with CFLAGS="-O2 -g". * Yet another stupid way to cause a segfault: R> x Error: Object "x" not found R> debug(t.test) R> t.test(rnorm(10)) debug: choices <- c("two.sided",

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

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()

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 | `-

Hi, I'm pretty much an R noob and I'm missing some paradigm in R I think. I can't figure our how to compare numerics. here's a transcript of my tests. Any pointers? > print(range_sd) [1] 34.40783 > is.numeric(range_sd) [1] TRUE > is.numeric(foo) [1] TRUE > is.double(range_sd) [1] TRUE > is.double(foo) [1] TRUE > > identical(range_sd, foo) [1]

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

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

I want to start R processes on multiple processors from single shell script and I want all of them to have different random seeds. One way of doing this is sleep 2 # (with 'sleep 1' I am often getting the same number) ... set.seed(unclass(Sys.time())) Is there a simpler way without a need to sleep between invoking different R processes ?

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

I made my own RUnit testing convention, and I want to introduce this to one of my friends. Before that, I'd like to review my codes. The problem that I met when I tried to polish my codes is: How can I get the file path in the file??? I.e., I want to get the path to the file that I'm writing using some magic R functions. But I couldn't find any good magic. Is there any magic? So, I
