devtools (version 1.11.1)

run_examples: Run all examples in a package.

Description

One of the most frustrating parts of `R CMD check` is getting all of your examples to pass - whenever one fails you need to fix the problem and then restart the whole process. This function makes it a little easier by making it possible to run all examples from an R function.

Usage

run_examples(pkg = ".", start = NULL, show = TRUE, test = FALSE,
  run = TRUE, fresh = FALSE)

Arguments

pkg

package description, can be path or package name. See as.package for more information

start

Where to start running the examples: this can either be the name of Rd file to start with (with or without extensions), or a topic name. If omitted, will start with the (lexicographically) first file. This is useful if you have a lot of examp

show

if TRUE, code in \dontshow{} will be commented out

test

if TRUE, code in \donttest{} will be commented out. If FALSE, code in \testonly{} will be commented out.

run

if TRUE, code in \dontrun{} will be commented out.

fresh

if TRUE, will be run in a fresh R session. This has the advantage that there's no way the examples can depend on anything in the current session, but interactive code (like browser) won't work.
