Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

resultcheck 0.2.1

  • snapshot() now improves script-name detection in non-interactive and test contexts by skipping editor-context lookup there and relying on call-stack source references before falling back to "interactive".

resultcheck 0.2.0

CRAN release: 2026-05-03

  • snapshot() now uses rstudioapi::getSourceEditorContext()$path (in RStudio/Positron) as the primary method to detect the calling script name, falling back to the call stack and then "interactive".
  • snapshot() and serialize_value() now apply built-in class-based method defaults automatically when no explicit method argument is provided. Statistical model classes (e.g. lm, glm, coxph, kmeans) are serialized using broom::tidy, broom::glance, and/or broom::augment when the broom package is available.
  • When broom is not installed, built-in class defaults that rely on it are silently skipped and the print + str fallback is used. User-configured class defaults that reference unavailable packages still raise an error.
  • The full list of supported classes is in inst/extdata/snapshot-method-defaults.R.
  • Added broom to Suggests to enable the new built-in class defaults.
  • Add “Get Started” and FAQ vignettes to clarify workflow and common questions.

resultcheck 0.1.4

CRAN release: 2026-04-21

  • Rename project config file from resultcheck.yml to _resultcheck.yml (legacy resultcheck.yml is still read for backward compatibility).
  • Change default snapshot location to tests/_resultcheck_snaps/ instead of _resultcheck_snapshots/.
  • Add configurable snapshot directory support via snapshot.dir in _resultcheck.yml.
  • Add with_example() to run package examples in temporary projects under tempdir(), avoiding writes to user home/package/getwd locations.
  • Update examples/docs to be executable without \\dontrun{} and use setup_sandbox() with no required file arguments for empty sandboxes.
  • snapshot() now warns with the exact target path before interactive writes; default path remains configurable via snapshot.dir in _resultcheck.yml.

resultcheck 0.1.3

  • Prepare for release to CRAN.

resultcheck 0.1.2

  • Add precision rounding option in _resultcheck.yml to stabilize snapshot comparisons across runs.
  • Add [ignored] markers in snapshot() output to explicitly indicate excluded components.

resultcheck 0.1.1

  • Fixed snapshot inconsistencies caused by variable serialization width and directory checks, improving reliability of result comparisons.
  • Added method parameter to snapshot() for print/str/both serialization.

resultcheck 0.1.0

Initial release

  • snapshot() — create and verify human-readable snapshots of R objects (models, data frames, tables, vectors, etc.). Interactive mode warns and prompts; testing mode (inside run_in_sandbox()) errors on mismatch.
  • setup_sandbox() — copy project files and/or directories into a temporary directory for isolated testing. Accepts individual file paths or entire subdirectories.
  • run_in_sandbox() — execute an R script inside the sandbox with the working directory set to the sandbox root, while find_root() and snapshot() transparently resolve back to the original project root.
  • cleanup_sandbox() — remove the sandbox directory after testing.
  • find_root() — locate the project root using _resultcheck.yml, .Rproj, or .git as markers.
