checkmate (version 1.8.1)

checkAtomicVector: Check that an argument is an atomic vector

Description

An atomic vector is defined slightly different from specifications in is.atomic and is.vector: An atomic vector is either logical, integer, numeric, complex, character or raw and can have any attributes. I.e., a factor is an atomic vector, but NULL is not. In short, this is equivalent to is.atomic(x) && !is.null(x).

Usage

checkAtomicVector(x, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL)
check_atomic_vector(x, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL)
assertAtomicVector(x, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
assert_atomic_vector(x, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
testAtomicVector(x, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL)
test_atomic_vector(x, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL)
expect_atomic_vector(x, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, info = NULL, label = vname(x))

Arguments

x
[any] Object to check.
any.missing
[logical(1)] Are vectors with missing values allowed? Default is TRUE.
all.missing
[logical(1)] Are vectors with only missing values allowed? Default is TRUE.
len
[integer(1)] Exact expected length of x.
min.len
[integer(1)] Minimal length of x.
max.len
[integer(1)] Maximal length of x.
unique
[logical(1)] Must all values be unique? Default is FALSE.
names
[character(1)] Check for names. See checkNamed for possible values. Default is “any” which performs no check at all.
.var.name
[character(1)] Name of the checked object to print in assertions. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.
add
[AssertCollection] Collection to store assertion messages. See AssertCollection.
info
[character(1)] Extra information to be included in the message for the testthat reporter. See expect_that.
label
[character(1)] Name of the checked object to print in messages. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.

Value

Depending on the function prefix: If the check is successful, the functions return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertAtomicVector/assert_atomic_vector throws an error message, testAtomicVector/test_atomic_vector returns FALSE, and checkAtomicVector returns a string with the error message. The function expect_atomic_vector always returns an expectation.
