testthat (version 3.0.3)

capture_output: Capture output to console

Description

Evaluates code in a special context in which all output is captured, similar to capture.output().

Usage

capture_output(code, print = FALSE, width = 80)
capture_output_lines(code, print = FALSE, width = 80)
testthat_print(x)

Arguments

code

Code to evaluate.

print

If TRUE and the result of evaluating code is visible, print the result using testthat_print().

width

Number of characters per line of output. This does not inherit from getOption("width") so that tests always use the same output width, minimising spurious differences.

Value

capture_output() returns a single string. capture_output_lines() returns a character vector with one entry for each line

Details

Results are printed using the testthat_print() generic, which defaults to print(), giving you the ability to customise the printing of your object in tests, if needed.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
capture_output({
  cat("Hi!\n")
  cat("Bye\n")
})

capture_output_lines({
  cat("Hi!\n")
  cat("Bye\n")
})

capture_output("Hi")
capture_output("Hi", print = TRUE)
# }
