checkVector: Check if an argument is a vector

Description

Check if an argument is a vector

Usage

checkVector(x, strict = FALSE, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, null.ok = FALSE)
check_vector(x, strict = FALSE, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, null.ok = FALSE)
assertVector(x, strict = FALSE, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, null.ok = FALSE, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
assert_vector(x, strict = FALSE, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, null.ok = FALSE, .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
testVector(x, strict = FALSE, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, null.ok = FALSE)
test_vector(x, strict = FALSE, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, null.ok = FALSE)
expect_vector(x, strict = FALSE, any.missing = TRUE, all.missing = TRUE, len = NULL, min.len = NULL, max.len = NULL, unique = FALSE, names = NULL, null.ok = FALSE, info = NULL, label = vname(x))

Arguments

x

[any] Object to check.

strict

[logical(1)] May the vector have additional attributes or perform a check for additional attributes like is.vector? Default is FALSE which allows e.g. factors or data.frames to be recognized as vectors.

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. Note that you can use checkSubset to check for a specific set of names.

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, assertVector/assert_vector throws an error message, testVector/test_vector returns FALSE, and checkVector returns a string with the error message. The function expect_vector always returns an expectation.
