Package development - REditorSupport/vscode-R GitHub Wiki
Package development is supported by vscode-R, R language server, and R debugger.
Commands
vscode-R mainly provides the mostly used package development commands:
| Title | Command | R code |
|---|---|---|
| Build package | r.build |
devtools::build() |
| Test package | r.test |
devtools::test() |
| Check package | r.check |
devtools::check() |
| Install package | r.install |
devtools::install() |
| Document | r.document |
devtools::document() |
| Load all | r.loadAll |
devtools::load_all() |
Keyboard shortcuts could be bound to these commands. See Creating keybindings for R commands.
Development
The R language server loads
all R documents in ./R if it detects a NAMESPACE file in the workspace root
folder, which indicates that the workspace contains an R package. Therefore, all
these R files are considered in the same workspace, sharing completions,
definitions, references, and other workspace-level language features.
Debugging
The R debugger supports debugging the package code in the current workspace. See Debugging R packages for more details.
