Thanks for your interest in contributing to workflowr. Here are some guidelines to help make it easier to merge your Pull Request:
devtools::test()
to run the teststests/testthat/
If you’re new to submitting Pull Requests, please read the section Contribute to other projects in the tutorial A quick introduction to version control with Git and GitHub.
For the most part, I try to follow the guidelines from R packages by Hadley Wickham. The unit tests are performed with testthat, the documentation is built with roxygen2, and the online package documentation is created with pkgdown. Continuous integration testing is performed for Linux by CircleCI, for macOS by Travis CI, and for Windows by AppVeyor. Code coverage is calculated with covr and Codecov.
The template files used by wflow_start()
to populate a new project are defined in the list templates
in the file R/infrastructure.R
. The RStudio project template is configured by inst/rstudio/templates/project/wflow_start.dcf
. The repository contains the files LICENSE
and LICENSE.md
to both adhere to R package conventions for defining the license and also to make the license clear in a more conventional manner (suggestions for improvement welcome). The directory scripts/
contains convenience scripts for maintaining the R package. The remaining directories are standard for R packages as described in the manual Writing R Extensions.
Convenience scripts for maintaining the package are located in scripts/
. These are not included in the package tarball for distribution. They are all intended to be executed from the root directory of the package. The convenience scripts include:
build.sh
runs R CMD build
and R CMD check
bump-version.R
bumps the version across all the necessary package filescontribute.R
performs some basic checks that should be run before contributing a Pull Requestdocument.R
regenerates the documentationsed.sh
performs search/replace for all R files in the packagegit log

and upload to CRAN submission site. You will receive an email to request confirmation, then an email confirming the package was submitted, and then an email with the test results. Once it is accepted to CRAN, monitor the check results for any surprise errors. Also, these builds are when the binaries are built for Windows and macOS, so they aren’t available until they are finished. You will receive an email once all the Windows binaries are available for download (devel, release, oldrel).You can monitor the status of the CRAN submission with the foghorn package:
foghorn::cran_incoming("workflowr")
foghorn::cran_details("workflowr")
foghorn::cran_results(pkg = "workflowr")
