test_path

Many tests require some external file (e.g. a <code>.csv</code> if you're testing a
data import function) but the working directory varies depending on the way
that you're running the test (e.g. interactively, with <code><a href="https://devtools.r-lib.org/reference/test.html">devtools::test()</a></code>,
or with <code>R CMD check</code>). <code>test_path()</code> understands these variations and
automatically generates a path relative to <code>tests/testthat</code>, regardless of
where that directory might reside relative to the current working directory.

Software testing is important, but, in part because it is
frustrating and boring, many of us avoid it. 'testthat' is a testing
framework for R that is easy to learn and use, and integrates with
your existing 'workflow'.
