config (version 0.2)

is_active: Test active configuration

Description

Check whether a configuration is currently active

Usage

is_active(config)

Arguments

config

Configuration name

Value

Logical indicating whether the specified configuration is active

Details

The name of the currently active configuration is read from the R_CONFIG_ACTIVE environment variable. If the variable is not defined then the "default" configuration is used.

To test for whether a configuration is active you should use the is_active function rather than inspecting the environment variable directly (this is to so that tests remain valid if other means of specifing configurations are introduced in the future).
