Bugfixes:

• Several unitizer prompt issues:

v1.0.0-1.0.9

Improvement / Changes:

• More comprehensive state tracking and resetting:
  • options, random.seed, and wd are tracked in addition to search path
  • state is reset when reviewing tests as well as when executing them
  • you are alerted off state differences between new and reference tests on error
  • State control parameters are streamlined; API breaking
• Whether an expression is ignored or not is now a function of whether the expression returns visibly or not
• Pre and post test scripts
  • 'helper' directory renamed '_pre'
  • Can now use a '_post' directory to run cleanup
• Interactive environment cleanup
  • Display tweaks
  • Contextual help tweaks
• Vignette updates
• Demo update
• Added Rdiff_obj to run a tools::Rdiff directly on two R objects

Internal:

• Reduced storage requirements for the unitizer stores
  • No longer storing assignments both as test value and object in environment
  • Calls recorded deparsed instead of as call objects
• Shimming used for search path tracking is more lightweight
• Text capture much more robust

Issues Fixed:

107, 106, 104, 103, 101, 99, 98, 94, 93, 90, 85, 84, 77, 74, 71, 67, 127, 115, 132, 134

v0.9.0

Improvements / Changes:

• Complete restructure of internal test management to allow for much more robust unitize_dir behavior (#51)
• Added testthat -> unitizer translation utilities (see ?testthat_translate_file)
• Can now pre-load objects before unitizing; unitize_dir and unitize by default auto-preload files in subdir 'helper'
• Renamed arg env.clean to par.env (technically API breaking, but since no one is using this package yet...)
• Many usability fixes (#48, #68, #82, #83), and improved text display
• Improved path inference to better guess desired unitizer based on partiallly specified file names (#72)

Other

• unitize_dir works with empty dirs (#78)
• Better management of file locations and names (#35, #75)

v0.8.1

Bugfixes

• review now properly infers unitizer locations

v0.8.0

Improvements:

• Added ability to accept multiple tests at once (Issue #45, use wisely...)
• unitize can now infer partially specified test file names (in particular, will know to look in pkgname/tests/unitizer; see ?infer_unitizer_location)
• parse_with_comments no longer run in non-interactive mode (#63)
• Test call now part of output of test object show method (#54)

Bugfixes:

• Comments inside unitizer_sect preserved (#64)
• Ignored tests assigned to first non-ignored test section (#57)
• Prompt display issues (#65, #66)

Internal:

• search_path_cleanup more robust (#59)
• get_text_capture tests added (#60)

v0.7.1

Improvements:

• Reduced test execution and parsing overhead
• Better handling of call recording for traceback and condition calls
• editFunNames becomes editCalls and provides more comprehensive editing of calls (Issue #52)

Bufixes:

• Comment handling in calls (Issues #56, #58)

v0.7.0

Improvements:

• Failed tests now automatically output a snippet of new and reference objects (Issue #34)
• Text handling generally improved (better wrapping, etc. Issue #38)
• Parsing speed improved (Issue #15)
• Got rid of get* functions, instead, access test details with .NEW/.REF (Issue #29)
• Implemented editFunNames to allow user to modify stored calls in unitizer so that tests can be re-used even if function names are changed

v0.6.5

Doc updates; should have been part of 0.6.4, but was too rushed to push...

v0.6.4

Improvements:

• Comment parsing faster (issue #15)

Bugfixes:

• Reference section logic improved (assume fixes #36 until there is evidence against)

Bugfixes:

• Loading a unitizer no longer automatically modifies it through upgrade

• calling functions in form pkg::fun or pkg:::fun no longer causes problems when checking for ignoredness

Behavior changes:

• review allows you to review and drop tests from an existing unitizer store (issue #21)
• Test navigation mechanism improved (issue #26)
  • Typing R at the unitizer prompt now allows you to review all tests
  • You can skip ahead too

Bugfixes:

• Comparison function warnings not captured (issue #14)
• Search path restoration error messages fixed (issue #22)
