checkmate (version 1.8.1)

checkEnvironment: Check if an argument is an environment

Description

Check if an argument is an environment

Usage

checkEnvironment(x, contains = character(0L), null.ok = FALSE)
check_environment(x, contains = character(0L), null.ok = FALSE)
assertEnvironment(x, contains = character(0L), null.ok = FALSE, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
assert_environment(x, contains = character(0L), null.ok = FALSE, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
testEnvironment(x, contains = character(0L), null.ok = FALSE)
test_environment(x, contains = character(0L), null.ok = FALSE)
expect_environment(x, contains = character(0L), null.ok = FALSE, info = NULL, label = vname(x))

Arguments

x
[any] Object to check.
contains
[character] Vector of object names expected in the environment. Defaults to character(0).
null.ok
[logical(1)] If set to TRUE, x may also be NULL. In this case only a type check of x is performed, all additional checks are disabled.
.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, assertEnvironment/assert_environment throws an error message, testEnvironment/test_environment returns FALSE, and checkEnvironment returns a string with the error message. The function expect_environment always returns an expectation.
