assert_file_has_extension: Assert file extensions

Description

  arg_name = NULL
)

Value

invisible(TRUE) if x has any of the specified extensions, otherwise aborts with the error message specified by msg

Arguments

x

An object

extensions

valid extensions (character vector). Do not include the '.', e.g. supply extensions = 'txt' not extensions = '.txt'

assert_file_has_extension("foo.txt", extensions = "txt") # Passes
assert_file_has_extension("file.txt", extensions = "csv") # Throws Error
})
