Auto TA

Auto TA is an RStudio addin to help novice data scientists debug common R errors. Auto TA provides real-time, in-context support for common errors like object not found and unexpected string constant.

Installation

Run this R command:

install.packages('autota')

If you're using RStudio Cloud, refresh the webpage (make sure to clear your cache using Control-Shift-R, Command-Shift-R, or Command-Option-R).

From source

If you want the latest version of Auto TA, or if you want to contribute to Auto TA, then install it from source using devtools:

install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('willcrichton/r-autota')

Usage

In RStudio, click "Addins" (rightmost item on the toolbar near the top) and click "Enable Auto TA". Then run a piece of code that generates an error, like cat(1 2) and watch the magic happen!
