runTests function

Runs the tests associated with this Shiny app

Sources the .R files in the top-level of tests/ much like R CMD check. These files are typically simple runners for tests nested in other directories under tests/.

runTests(appDir = ".", filter = NULL, assert = TRUE, envir = globalenv())

Arguments

• appDir: The base directory for the application.
• filter: If not NULL, only tests with file names matching this regular expression will be executed. Matching is performed on the file name including the extension.
• assert: Logical value which determines if an error should be thrown if any error is captured.
• envir: Parent testing environment in which to base the individual testing environments.

Name	Type	Meaning
file	character(1)	File name of the runner script in tests/ that was sourced.
pass	logical(1)	Whether or not the runner script signaled an error when sourced.
result	any or NA	The return value of the runner
