CHANGES IN testit VERSION 0.14

CHANGES IN testit VERSION 0.12

CRAN release: 2020-09-25

  • test_pkg() installs the package before running tests when it is called from a non-interactive R session that is not launched by R CMD check, e.g., when you run tests in RStudio via Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + T, so you will not have to install the package manually (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + B) before running tests.

CRAN release: 2019-11-12

  • The package license was changed from GPL to GPL-3 (@jayvdb #8).

CHANGES IN testit VERSION 0.10

CRAN release: 2019-10-01

  • test_pkg() also looks for tests under the tests/testit/ directory. This makes it easier for you to run test_pkg() under the root directory of the package, and you don’t need to change the working directory to tests/.

CHANGES IN testit VERSION 0.5

CRAN release: 2016-02-17
