Hi Dirk, > Before you look at RcppArmadillo, look at Rcpp itself: > > - 22 unit test files
Are you referring to these files as test files. ~/Documents/src/Rsrc/cran/Rcpp_0.9.13/inst/unitTests$ ls runit.*.R |wc -l 22 > - 349 unit test functions And here is how you get the number 349? /Documents/src/Rsrc/cran/Rcpp_0.9.13/inst/unitTests$ grep function runit.*.R|grep '\<test\.' | wc -l 349 > - 770 unit tests How do you get the above number? I don't quite what these directories are for. They seems to be some packages as well. Would you please help me understand how they are used for testing? ~/Documents/src/Rsrc/cran/Rcpp_0.9.13/inst/unitTests$ ls -goltrd RcppTestA/ testRcpp* drwxr-xr-x 8 272 Jun 28 23:19 testRcppModule drwxr-xr-x 8 272 Jun 28 23:19 testRcppClass drwxr-xr-x 7 238 Jun 28 23:19 RcppTestA/ > It is far from perfect.

I assume that you mean Rcpp-unitTests.pdf? How does Rcpp-unitTests.txt get generated automatically during package build? It looks to me that it has to be manually generated? ~/Documents/src/Rsrc/cran/Rcpp_0.9.13$ ackall Rcpp-unitTests.txt inst/doc/Rcpp-unitTests.Rnw 25:results <- "unitTests-results/Rcpp-unitTests.txt" man/RcppUnitTests.Rd 19:txt <- system.file( "doc", "unitTests-results", "Rcpp-unitTests.txt", package = "Rcpp" ) MD5 67:bee860827a4518d5fc3bbb8cc2cb4897 *inst/doc/unitTests-results/Rcpp-unitTests.txt > RUnit works, but the setup is not the easiest.

How (or in what aspect) RUnit is better than devtools? -- Regards, Peng _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
