Watches code and tests for changes, rerunning tests as appropriate.

The idea behind auto_test() is that you just leave it running while you develop your code. Every time you save a file it will be automatically tested and you can easily see if your changes have caused any test failures.

The current strategy for rerunning tests is as follows:

• if any code has changed, then those files are reloaded and all tests rerun

• otherwise, each new or modified test is run

Usage

auto_test(
  code_path,
  test_path,
  reporter = default_reporter(),
  env = test_env(),
  hash = TRUE
)

auto_test_package(pkg = ".", reporter = default_reporter(), hash = TRUE)

Arguments

code_path

path to directory containing code

test_path

path to directory containing tests

reporter

test reporter to use

env

environment in which to execute test suite.

hash

Passed on to watch(). When FALSE, uses less accurate modification time stamps, but those are faster for large files.

pkg

path to package
