Describe the context of a set of tests.

Use of context() is no longer recommended. Instead omit it, and messages will use the name of the file instead. This ensures that the context and test file name are always in sync.

A context defines a set of tests that test related functionality. Usually you will have one context per file, but you may have multiple contexts in a single file if you so choose.

Usage

context(desc)

Arguments

desc

description of context. Should start with a capital letter.

3rd edition

context() is deprecated in the third edition, and the equivalent information is instead recorded by the test file name.

Examples

context("String processing")
#> Warning: `context()` was deprecated in the 3rd edition.
context("Remote procedure calls")
#> Warning: `context()` was deprecated in the 3rd edition.
