svUnit (version 1.0.6)

koUnit: Interact with the test unit GUI in Komodo/SciViews-K

Description

These functions allow controlling the test unit module (R Unit tab at right) in Komodo with SciViews-K and SciViews-K Unit extensions. R must be correctly connected to Komodo, meaning that the 'svGUI' package must be loaded with proper configuration of client/server socket connections between R and Komodo. See the manual about SciViews-K for more information. The functions defined here are the same as JavaScript functions defined in the 'sv.r.unit' namespace in Komodo/SciViews-K Unit. For instance, koUnit_runTest() is equivalent to sv.r.unit.runTest(); in a Javascript macro in Komodo.

Usage

koUnit_setAutoTest(state)
koUnit_isAutoTest()
koUnit_runTest()
koUnit_showRUnitPane(state)
koUnit_version()

Arguments

state

TRUE or FALSE, or missing for koUnit_showRUnitPane(), in this case, the R Unit pane visibility is toggled.

Value

koUnit_isAutoTest() returns TRUE if the test unit is in auto mode in Komodo (the selected tests are run automatically each time a .R file edited in Komodo is saved).

koUnit_version() returns the version for which the SciViews-K Unit extension was designed for. This allow to check if this version is compatible with current 'svUnit' R package version, and to propose to update the Komodo extension if needed (this mechanism is not running currently, but it will be implemented in the future to avoid or limit incompatibilities between respective R and Komodo extensions).

The other functions are invoked for their side-effect and they return nothing. Note, however, that correct execution of this code in Komodo is verified, and the functions issue an error in R if they fail to execute correctly in Komodo.
