Run all examples in a package. — run

One of the most frustrating parts of R CMD check is getting all of your examples to pass - whenever one fails you need to fix the problem and then restart the whole process. This function makes it a little easier by making it possible to run all examples from an R function.

Usage

run_examples(
  pkg = ".",
  start = NULL,
  show = deprecated(),
  run_donttest = FALSE,
  run_dontrun = FALSE,
  fresh = FALSE,
  document = TRUE,
  run = deprecated(),
  test = deprecated()
)

Arguments

pkg: The package to use, can be a file path to the package or a package object. See as.package() for more information.
start: Where to start running the examples: this can either be the name of Rd file to start with (with or without extensions), or a topic name. If omitted, will start with the (lexicographically) first file. This is useful if you have a lot of examples and don't want to rerun them every time you fix a problem.
show: DEPRECATED.
run_donttest: if TRUE, do run \donttest sections in the Rd files.
run_dontrun: if TRUE, do run \dontrun sections in the Rd files.
fresh: if TRUE, will be run in a fresh R session. This has the advantage that there's no way the examples can depend on anything in the current session, but interactive code (like browser()) won't work.
document: if TRUE, document() will be run to ensure examples are updated before running them.
run, test: Deprecated, see run_dontrun and run_donttest above.
