After this PR, the generated files are much simpler. Here is for instance
yaml/as.yaml/test-36.R
:The return value and the seed are recorded in the
.ext
file (with the functionrecord_test_exts
) after the generation of the file ; this way the files can be run in isolation (usingcallr
).This makes it possible to still use the generated files as unit tests using testthat, but also to use them for other uses like benchmarks. These functionalities are taken care of by external scripts. This approach has the advantage that it easier to add new functionalities without having to re-generate all the files.
For instance, the files
benchmark.R
andtest_file.R
(intools/harnesses/
) implement the previously mentioned functionalities:
