Returns a data frame for each variable in the execution containing the instances where the data type changed. Each data frame contains the following columns:
value: The value of the variable.
container: The type of the container of the variable.
dimension: The size of the container.
type: The data type(s) contained within the container.
code: The line of code associated with the variable.
scriptNum: The script number associated with the variable.
scriptName: The name of the script associated with the variable.
startLine: The line number associated with the variable.
debug.type.changes(...)Optional. Variable name(s) to be queried. If variables are given (not NULL), the results will be filtered to show only those with the given variable name.
A list of data frames for each variable with at least 1 data type change.
debug.type.changes belongs to provDebugR, a debugger which utilises provenance collected post-execution to facilitate understanding of the execution and aid in debugging.
This function may be used only after the debugger has been initialised using one its initialisation functions (listed below).
provDebugR Initialisation Functions:
Other provDebugR Functions (non-initialisation):
debug.error: Returns the backwards lineage of the error, if any.
The error may be queried on StackOverflow.
debug.line: Returns all immediate inputs and outputs
for the line(s) queried.
debug.lineage: Returns the forwards or backwards lineage
of the data object(s) queried. The forwards lineage shows how the
data object was used, and the backwards lineage shows how it was produced.
debug.state: Returns the state at the line(s) queried,
after the line had been executed. The state is the list of all
variables and their values in the environment at the queried line.
debug.variable: Returns a data frame showing all instances
of the variable(s) queried.
debug.view: Opens and displays the contents of each file or variable
or variable queried.
debug.warning: Returns the backwards lineage of the queried
warning(s), if any.
