checkmate (version 1.9.4)

checkChoice: Check if an object is an element of a given set

Description

Check if an object is an element of a given set

Usage

checkChoice(x, choices, null.ok = FALSE, fmatch = FALSE)
check_choice(x, choices, null.ok = FALSE, fmatch = FALSE)
assertChoice(x, choices, null.ok = FALSE, fmatch = FALSE,
  .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
assert_choice(x, choices, null.ok = FALSE, fmatch = FALSE,
  .var.name = vname(x), add = NULL)
testChoice(x, choices, null.ok = FALSE, fmatch = FALSE)
test_choice(x, choices, null.ok = FALSE, fmatch = FALSE)
expect_choice(x, choices, null.ok = FALSE, fmatch = FALSE,
  info = NULL, label = vname(x))

Arguments

x

[any] Object to check.

choices

[atomic] Set of possible values.

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.

fmatch

[logical(1)] Use the set operations implemented in fmatch in package fastmatch. If fastmatch is not installed, this silently falls back to match. fmatch modifies y by reference: A hash table is added as attribute which is used in subsequent calls.

.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 assertChoice/assert_choice return x invisibly, whereas checkChoice/check_choice and testChoice/test_choice return TRUE. If the check is not successful, assertChoice/assert_choice throws an error message, testChoice/test_choice returns FALSE, and checkChoice returns a string with the error message. The function expect_choice always returns an expectation.
