source_file: Source a file, directory of files, or various important subsets

Description

These are used by test_dir() and friends

Usage

source_file(path, env = test_env(), chdir = TRUE,
  encoding = "unknown", wrap = TRUE)

source_dir(path, pattern = "\\.[rR]$", env = test_env(), chdir = TRUE, wrap = TRUE)

source_test_helpers(path = "tests/testthat", env = test_env())

source_test_setup(path = "tests/testthat", env = test_env())

source_test_teardown(path = "tests/testthat", env = test_env())

Arguments

path

Path to files.

env

Environment in which to evaluate code.

chdir

Change working directory to dirname(path)?

encoding

Deprecated.

wrap

Automatically wrap all code within test_that()? This ensures that all expectations are reported, even if outside a test block.

pattern

Regular expression used to filter files.

Test files

For package code, tests should live in tests/testthat.

There are four classes of .R files that have special behaviour:

  • Test files start with test and are executed in alphabetical order.

  • Helper files start with helper and are executed before tests are run and from devtools::load_all().

  • Setup files start with setup and are executed before tests, but not during devtools::load_all().

  • Teardown files start with teardown and are executed after the tests are run.
