testParseTestFile
Extract Metadata from Test File
Description
Read a test file, converting the metadata comments and their continuation
lines into elements of a named list.
Usage
testParseTestFile(file, text = readLines(file), check = TRUE,
check.parse = check)
Arguments
| file | The name of the file to read. |
| text | The contents of the file (for debugging) |
| check | Not used now, except as a default value for check.parse |
| check.parse | If TRUE, make sure that the non-metadata part
of the file may be parsed by R. |
Value
testParseTestFile(file) returns a named list with one
entry for each metadata tag in the file.
Metadata comments start with a line starting with "## <Tag>: "
and may be continued on another line if the following line
starts with "## " but does not have a "<Tag>:" immediately
following it.
The output value also contains a 'file' attribute that is a copy of the
file argument to this function and a 'code' attribute
that is a character vector containing all the non-metadata
lines in the file.
Note
The spec says that metadata comment lines must be of the form
"## <Tag>:", but many existing files omit the space after the
doubled comment sign. testParseTestFile accepts such lines,
but a space will be added when testWriteTestFile writes out the
metadata comment.
