Package Compatibility

As a standard part of each TERR release, we run all help examples provided in packages in the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) in the TERR engine from the Windows and Linux platforms.

Beginning with release 5.1, we also run all help examples provided in packages in the Bioconductor (BIOC) list.

Package compatibility analysis in Spotfire

We report the results of these tests in visualizations that are available on Spotfire® Cloud™ at the following links. You can browse and review the results for the packages you want to use and their Task Views. You can review the results run for every expression in every help file for every CRAN package or BioConductor package for the following platforms.


CRAN packages	BioConductor packages
Windows	Windows
Linux	Linux

The tests run against code examples in the help provide some guidance for determining rates of success. The accuracy of information collected depends on the number and quality of examples in the package reference topics. These analyses are not meant to be the definitive determination of exact compatibility.

For more information about BioConductor packages, see https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/

Package compatibility summary in TERR

Alternatively, we provide a summary of our testing results on the documentation site in the following CSV-formatted files.

TERR console code example for CRAN

You can use the TERR console to quickly access a summary of the information. The following example returns the results for testing the help files for the CRAN package caret. You can change the example to match the platform and package of your choice.

Change the CSV file name to match the platform (Linux or Windows).
Remove the comment markers for the CSV file name.
Provide the name of the package you want to query.

# Example:  CRAN tests compatibility with this version of TERR
#
#packageCompat <- read.csv("https://docs.tibco.com/pub/enterprise-runtime-for-R/6.1.2/doc/csv/CRANonTERR-Linux.csv", 
#   stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
#
#packageCompat <- read.csv("https://docs.tibco.com/pub/enterprise-runtime-for-R/6.1.2/doc/csv/CRANonTERR-Win.csv", 
#   stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
#
subset(packageCompat, Package.Name=="caret")
## (update)

The returned results resemble the following for the above example.

    Package.Name Version            Status Percent.Successful Total.Executed
1608        caret  6.0-86 Mostly successful                98.5%            205
    Passed Failed Graphics Random.Numbers
1608    202      3       17             100

This table shows how to read the results for this example. (Shows sample results for running the example on Linux. Results for Windows can vary slightly.)
Column name	Result
Package.Name	caret
Version	6.0-86
Status	Mostly successful
Percent.Successful	98.5%

TERR console code example for BioConductor

You can use the TERR console to quickly access a summary of the information. The following example returns the results for testing the help files for the BioConductor package limma. You can change the example to match the platform and package of your choice.

Change the CSV file name to match the platform (Linux or Windows).
Remove the comment markers for the CSV file name.
Provide the name of the package you want to query.

# Example:  BioConductor tests compatibility with this version of TERR
#
#packageCompat <- read.csv("https://docs.tibco.com/pub/enterprise-runtime-for-R/6.1.2/doc/csv/BioConTERR-Linux.csv", 
#   stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
#
#packageCompat <- read.csv("https://docs.tibco.com/pub/enterprise-runtime-for-R/6.1.2/doc/csv/BioConTERR-Win.csv", 
#   stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
#
subset(packageCompat, Package.Name=="limma")
## (update)

The returned results resemble the following for the above example.

Package.Name Version            Status Percent.Successful Total.Executed
901        limma  3.44.3 Mostly successful               96.9            391
    Passed Failed Graphics Random.Numbers
901    379     12       49             75

This table shows how to read the results for this example. (Shows sample results for running the example on Linux. Results for Windows can vary slightly.)
Column name	Result
Package.Name	limma
Version	3.44.3
Status	Mostly successful
