Package 'future.tests'

Title: Test Suite for 'Future API' Backends
Description: Backends implementing the 'Future' API, as defined by the 'future' package, should use the tests provided by this package to validate that they meet the minimal requirements of the 'Future' API. The tests can be performed easily from within R or from outside of R from the command line making it straightforward to include them in package tests and in Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines.

Arguments

expr

...

substitute

...

Value

(invisibly) returns current list of test plans.


Evaluate an Expression Across A Set of Future Plans

Description

Evaluate an Expression Across A Set of Future Plans

Usage

along_test_plans(
  expr,
  substitute = TRUE,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  local = TRUE,
  plans = test_plans()
)

Arguments

expr

An R expression.

substitute

...

envir

The environment where tests are run.

local

Should tests be evaluated in a local environment or not.

plans

A list of future plans.

Value

A list of results, one for each future plan tested against.


Run All or a Subset of the Tests Across Future Plans

Description

Run All or a Subset of the Tests Across Future Plans

Usage

check(
  plan = NULL,
  tags = character(),
  timeout = NULL,
  settings = TRUE,
  session_info = FALSE,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  local = TRUE,
  debug = FALSE,
  exit_value = !interactive(),
  .args = commandArgs()
)

Arguments

plan

(character vector) One or more future strategy plans to be validated.

tags

(character vector; optional) Filter test by tags. If NULL, all tests are performed.

timeout

(numeric; optional) Maximum time (in seconds) each test may run before a timeout error is produced.

settings

(logical) If TRUE, details on the settings are outputted before the tests start.

session_info

(logical) If TRUE, session information is outputted after the tests complete.

envir

The environment where tests are run.

local

Should tests be evaluated in a local environment or not.

debug

(logical) If TRUE, the raw test results are printed.

exit_value

(logical) If TRUE, and in a non-interactive session, then use base::quit() to quit R with an exit code of 0 (zero) if all tests passed with all OKs and otherwise 1 (one) if one or more test failed.

.args

(character vector; optional) Command-line arguments.

Value

(list; invisible) A list of test results.

Command-line interface (CLI)

This function can be called from the shell. To specify an argument, use the format ⁠--test-<arg_name>=<value>⁠. For example, --test-timeout=600 will set argument timeout=600, and ⁠--tags=lazy,rng⁠, or equivalently, --tags=lazy --tags=rng will set argument tags=c("lazy", "rng").

Here are some examples on how to call this function from the command line:

Rscript -e future.tests::check --args --test-plan=sequential
Rscript -e future.tests::check --args --test-plan=multicore,workers=2
Rscript -e future.tests::check --args --test-plan=sequential --test-plan=multicore,workers=2
Rscript -e future.tests::check --args --test-plan=future.callr::callr
Rscript -e future.tests::check --args --test-plan=future.batchtools::batchtools_local

The exit code will be 0 if all tests passed, otherwise 1. You can use for instance ⁠exit_code=$?⁠ to retrieve the exit code of the most recent call.

Examples

## Not run: 
results <- future.tests::check(plan = "sequential", tags = c("rng"))
exit_code <- attr(results, "exit_code")
if (exit_code != 0) stop("One or more tests failed")

## End(Not run)
