checkmate (version 1.8.1)

checkFlag: Check if an argument is a flag

Description

A flag is defined as single logical value.

Usage

checkFlag(x, na.ok = FALSE, null.ok = FALSE)
check_flag(x, na.ok = FALSE, null.ok = FALSE)
assertFlag(x, na.ok = FALSE, null.ok = FALSE, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
assert_flag(x, na.ok = FALSE, null.ok = FALSE, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
testFlag(x, na.ok = FALSE, null.ok = FALSE)
test_flag(x, na.ok = FALSE, null.ok = FALSE)
expect_flag(x, na.ok = FALSE, null.ok = FALSE, info = NULL, label = vname(x))

Arguments

x

[any] Object to check.

na.ok

[logical(1)] Are missing values allowed? Default is FALSE.

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, assertFlag/assert_flag throws an error message, testFlag/test_flag returns FALSE, and checkFlag returns a string with the error message. The function expect_flag always returns an expectation.

Details

This function does not distinguish between NA, NA_integer_, NA_real_, NA_complex_ NA_character_ and NaN.
