unitizer NEWS

v1.4.23

• Fix CRAN M1 Mac additional issues related to test failing because we used a library path in un-normalized form for temp test packages, but the unload namespace mechanism uses the normalized form to de-register cached rdb files. Seems this was caused by a MacOS change rather than R, but not 100% sure.

v1.4.22

• Fix unnamed arguments error in a call to deparse that manifested with improvements changes in r-devel.
• Fix bad all.equal method NAMESPACE entries (h/t @MichaelChirico), see source issue for details.

v1.4.21

• Suppress test caused to fail by checks added to parent.env<- in r-devel r86545.

v1.4.20

• Add explicit alias for fansi-package now that it is no longer auto-generated by roxgen2 from the @docType package directive.

v1.4.19

• #293: Output all failed tests in non-interactive mode, instead of just the first one.
• #292: Clarify warnings about stderr in transcript mode.
• Fully unhook the evaluation environment chain prior to storing unitizers. Previously only the portions of the chain part of the unitizer was unhooked, but with some tests it becomes possible to capture environments created during the pre expression evaluations. This could cause warnings about package environments being unavailable on reload of RDSes.

v1.4.18

• #289: Better document pitfalls of non-ASCII in e.g. literals in tests. Related: we no longer attempt to do a parse/deparse round trip when displaying recorded test expressions as the round trip could fail in some cases.
• #288: Prevent upgrade prompt in non-interactive mode interrupting result display (regression introduced in 1.4.15).
• #286: Add a “transcript” mode where test output can better be interpreted as a log, intended non-interactive mode.
• #272: Highlight silently emitted conditions in tests that have otherwise no other output.
• #252, #253: Better documentation of feature incompatibility with devtools::load_all, and more graceful recovery from failures caused by the incompatibility. This only affects unitizer sessions run with package search path management enabled (h/t @blset).
• #247: Disallow running unitizer without first attaching it to the search path.
• #245: Fix re-run bookmarking when reviewing multiple unitizers with unitize_dir.

v1.4.16-17

• #285: Relax condition call
• #284: Handle CTRL+C interrupts while multi-line editing.
• #283: Multi-unitizer upgrade regression introduced in 1.4.15.
• Address CRAN failures due to path inconsistencies on Windows machines.
• #279: Multi-line input parsing works in non-English locales.

v1.4.15.9000

Non-CRAN release to fix test issues under covr and on older R versions.

v1.4.15

• Test suite switched to aammrtf, removing suggests dependency to testthat.
• Upgrade process modified so that old unitizer that pass tests are not required to be upgraded.
• show.progress parameter added to control chattiness of progress updates.
• Invalid unitizers now prevent review of valid unitizers. Fix the invalid unitizers, or remove them from the review list (e.g. by moving them out of the primary unitizer directory).
• review exposes use.diff and show.progress parameters.
• #278: Show more context when returning to a test via browser or on re-evaluation.
• #277: Handle CTRL+C interrupts so they do not kill the unitizer session (h/t @milesmcbain).

v1.4.13-14

• unitizer no longer directly accesses .Traceback to set traces in interactive sessions. Instead, traceback() and .traceback() are masked at the interactive prompt.

v1.4.11-12

• #248: Ensure vignettes can be tested with tools::testInstalledPackage.
• #250, #251, #254: Comment parsing improvements (h/t @blset, @kalibera)
• #263: Clarify documentation about potential state management issuess. This includes renaming “recommended” state management mode (see ?unitizerState) to “suggested” (“recommended” still works).
• #268: options(warn=2) now works at the unitizer prompt in interactive mode.
• #265: Bad vignette links in README (h/t @moodymudskipper).
• #260: Remove old test error display code.
• #246, #243: Assorted documentation updates. #254: Comment parsing.
• Fix sprintf unused argument errors in new versions of r-devel (h/t @kalibera).
• stringsAsFactors rose from the grave; we put it back.

v1.4.10

• Banish ghosts of stringsAsFactors.

v1.4.9

• #262 Interactive prompt slowness caused by recent R changes to showConnections().
• #261 RDS files are explicitly saved in serialization version 2 for backwards compatibility.
• #244 Squash all partial match warnings that unitizer emitted under options(warnPartialMatch*).
• Tests explicitly set stringsAsFactors=TRUE so they don’t fail with the anticipated changed for R4.0.
• Adds the ‘unitizer.restarts.ok’ option to suppress warnings about being run within withRestart blocks.

v1.4.8

• install.packages calls in tests now use a temporary folder for library.

v1.4.7

• Set RNGversion() in internal tests due to changes to R sampling mechanism.

v1.4.6

• #258 Remove devtools as a suggests dependency (reported by @jimhester).
• #257 Ensure all slots in S4 prototypes exist in the class definition (reported by B. Ripley).

v1.4.5

• Colors in test browser working again.
• #220 Fix vignette ordering on CRAN.
• #225 Inferring file locations when not in pkg top level.
• #237 Option to turn off diffs.
• #239 Document issues with deparsing doubles in tests.
• #242 Correctly parse newlines in prompt input.
• #241 q() actually works now.
• #231 Report parse warnings at prompt.
• #234 Random seed issues.
• #220 Re-order vignettes.
• Wrap diffObj call in try to avoid killing unitizer section when diffObj errors.
• Modify test_dir calls to use wrap on testthat versions greater than 0.1.2.

v1.4.4

• Fix tests broken by R-devel 3.4.1 improvements to S4 deparsing
• #232 document that .Last.value does not work
• #228 more docs on handling RDS files
• README typos (@eddelbuettel)
• Improve vignette index

v1.4.3

• #221 Crash on Re-Run due to poor comparison of parsed test file sources
• #222 Allow loading of unitizers generated by later versions of the package in earlier version of the packages provided the object validates
• #224 Slow re-eval in recommended state mode with lots of files
