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

watch function

<dl><dt>path</dt>
<dd>character vector of paths to watch. Omit trailing backslash.</dd>

<dd>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.</dd>
<dt>pattern</dt>
<dd>file pattern passed to <code><a href="/link/dir()?package=testthat&version=3.2.1.1" data-mini-rdoc="testthat::dir()">dir()</a></code></dd>
<dt>hash</dt>
<dd>hashes are more accurate at detecting changes, but are slower
for large files. When FALSE, uses modification time stamps</dd></dl>
