Dear R package developers, I would enjoy some help regarding some feedback I got on my package from a CRAN volunteer, as I am unsure how to interpret this correctly.
This is the feedback I got (I added '[do]'): > Please [do] not write testthat-tests in your examples. I wonder if this is about using `testthat` or using tests in general. To simplify the context, say I wrote a package with a function called `add`, that adds two numbers. My example code would then be something like this: ``` library(testthat) expect_equal(add(1, 2), 3) ``` The first interpretation is about using `testthat`: maybe I should use base R (`stopifnot`) or another testing library (`testit`) or hand-craft it myself? The second interpretation is about using tests in example code. I like to actively demonstrate that my code works as expected. I checked the policies regarding examples, and I could not find a rule that I should refrain from doing so. What is the correct response to this feedback? Thanks for your guidance, Richel Bilderbeek ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
