pillar (version 0.0.0.9000)

expect_known_display: Test helpers

Description

Expectation for packages that implement a data type with pillar support. Allows storing the desired result in a file, and comparing the output with the file contents. Note that this expectation sets options that affect the formatting of the pillar, see examples for usage.

Usage

expect_known_display(object, file, ..., width = 80L, crayon = TRUE)

Arguments

object

object to test

file

Path to a "golden" text file that contains the desired output.

...

Unused.

width

The width of the output.

crayon

Color the output?

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
file <- tempfile("pillar", fileext = ".txt")

# The pillar is constructed after options have been set
# (need two runs because reference file doesn't exist during the first run)
suppressWarnings(tryCatch(
  expect_known_display(pillar(1:3), file, crayon = FALSE),
  expectation_failure = function(e) {}
))
expect_known_display(pillar(1:3), file, crayon = FALSE)

# Good: Use tidyeval to defer construction
pillar_quo <- rlang::quo(pillar(1:3))
expect_known_display(!!pillar_quo, file, crayon = FALSE)

# }
# NOT RUN {
# Bad: Options set in the active session may affect the display
integer_pillar <- pillar(1:3)
expect_known_display(integer_pillar, file, crayon = FALSE)
# }
