Generate report on package compliance with rOpenSci Statistical Software

Description

Generate report on package compliance with rOpenSci Statistical Software requirements as background process

Usage

pkgcheck_bg(path)

Arguments

path: Path to local repository

Note

The return object will by default display whether it is still running, or whether it has finished. Once it has finished, the results can be obtained by calling $get_result(), or the main pkgcheck function can be called to quickly retrieve the main results from local cache. This function does not accept the extra_env parameter of the main pkgcheck function, and can not be used to run extra, locally-defined checks.

Seealso

Other pkgcheck_fns: [pkgcheck](pkgcheck)(), [print.pkgcheck](print.pkgcheck)()

Concept

pkgcheck_fns

Value

A processx object connecting to the background process generating the main pkgcheck results (see Note).

Examples

# Foreground checks as "blocking" process which will return
# only after all checks have finished:
checks <- pkgcheck ("/path/to/my/package")

# Or run process in background, do other things in the meantime,
# and obtain checks once they have finished:
ps <- pkgcheck_bg ("/path/to/my/package")
ps # print status to screen, same as 'ps$print()'
# To examine process state while running:
f <- ps$get_output_file ()
readLines (f) # or directly open file with local file viewer
# ... ultimately wait until 'running' changes to 'finished', then:
checks <- ps$get_result ()
