Run reverse dependency checks against a development version only

check_dev_rev_deps() works similarly to check_rev_deps() but it runs R CMD check only once for each package, with the development version of the package installed. It is advantageous to check whether adding a new package into a repository breaks existing packages that possibly take said package as a Suggests dependency.

Usage

check_dev_rev_deps(
  path,
  n = 2L,
  output = tempfile(paste(utils::packageName(), Sys.Date(), sep = "-")),
  lib.loc = .libPaths(),
  repos = getOption("repos"),
  restore = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

path

file path to the package source directory

n

integer value indicating maximum number of subprocesses that can be simultaneously spawned when executing tasks.

output

character value specifying path where the output should be stored.

lib.loc

character vector with libraries allowed to be used when checking packages, defaults to entire .libPaths().

repos

character vector of repositories which will be used when generating task graph and later pulling dependencies.

restore

logical indicating whether output directory should be unlinked before running checks. If FALSE, an attempt will me made to restore previous progress from the same output

...

Additional arguments passed to run()

Value

check_design() R6 class storing all the details regarding checks that run. Can be combined with results and summary() methods to generate results.
