Re: [R-pkg-devel] Where do demos fit in?

[Peter Carbonetto]

Hi Neal,

Re-using demos for your package tests is a great idea, and should be done
more often.

However, I tend to agree with Iñaki---I generally prefer vignettes to demos.

I wanted to point out that you could take a similar strategy to what you
suggested, but using a vignette instead of a demo. The code is slightly
more complicated but seems to work. See here for an example:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pcarbo/varbvs/test_vignette/varbvs-R/tests/testthat/test_vignette.R

(Anyone, please reply if you know of a better way to implement this!)

[R-pkg-devel] Help with Devtools Error

[Adrian Cunningham]

Hello,


I hope that this email finds you all well. Any help with the following
error messages that I am getting when I run devtools::check() on my
package would be greatly appreciated. I think that it is a Namespace
error - but when I try to export my function, it doesn't pass the
install check of the devtools check.

Thank you in advance!

There is a good definition and description here:
http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/misc.html

Personally, I'm not a fan of demos, because I prefer to copy
from vignettes as I read and understand the different parts of the
problem in question.
