watch

character vector of paths to watch. Omit trailing backslash.

path

function called everytime a change occurs. It should
have three parameters: added, deleted, modified, and should return
TRUE to keep watching, or FALSE to stop.

callback

file pattern passed to <code><a rd-options="=dir" href="/link/dir()?package=testthat&version=3.0.3&to=%3Ddir" data-mini-rdoc="=dir::dir()">dir()</a></code>

pattern

hashes are more accurate at detecting changes, but are slower
for large files. When FALSE, uses modification time stamps

hash

This is used to power the <code><a rd-options="=auto_test" href="/link/auto_test()?package=testthat&version=3.0.3&to=%3Dauto_test" data-mini-rdoc="=auto_test::auto_test()">auto_test()</a></code> and
<code><a rd-options="=auto_test_package" href="/link/auto_test_package()?package=testthat&version=3.0.3&to=%3Dauto_test_package" data-mini-rdoc="=auto_test_package::auto_test_package()">auto_test_package()</a></code> functions which are used to rerun tests
whenever source code changes.

Software testing is important, but, in part because
it is frustrating and boring, many of us avoid it. 'testthat' is a
testing framework for R that is easy to learn and use, and integrates
with your existing 'workflow'.

<code><a rd-options='=auto_test_package' href='auto_test_package()'>auto_test_package()</a></code> functions which are used to rerun tests
