Version 0.2

goalie 0.2.0 (2018-12-12)

Major changes:

  • Removed all assert* functions in favor of a simpler, assertthat style approach using assert for all checks. The package will export check functions that return logical, typically logical(1) (boolean flag) for most checks. These checks can then be wrapped in assert or validate (for S4 class validity checks) calls.

goalie 0.2.1 (2018-12-20)

Major changes:

  • The approach to the package update is heavily influenced by the conventions defined in the assertive package. In goalie, I’m attempting to create a minimal assert check engine that behaves similar to stopifnot, but with more informative error messages. This approach is inspired by the assertthat package, but neither assertive or assertthat are working quite right for my needs.
  • Overhauled the assert and validate engines, re-writing the code from scratch based on the internal code of stopifnot.
  • Reworked all assertive check functions to reduce the number of dependencies. Now the package is lean and mean, only importing methods and utils into the NAMESPACE.
  • Assertive checks now return as goalie class in addition to logical.

goalie 0.2.2 (2018-12-22)

Major changes:

  • assert: Added msg formal. Improved error message when a user inputs check functions that don’t return boolean.
  • capitalize: Simplified documentation, referring the user to the documentation provided in syntactic package.
  • falseFromVector: Newly exported function.
  • isInRange family: Added scalar variants for all vectorized functions.
  • Improved scalar return consistency in functions where applicable, using falseFromVector internally.

goalie 0.2.3 (2019-01-04)

New functions:

  • Migrated some low-level functions from basejump that are useful for assertive checks: matchArgsToDoCall, standardizeCall, and the MethodDefinition family, which includes methodFunction, methodFormals, hasLocal, extractLocal. These will get re-exported in basejump.

Minor changes:

  • Reorganized base engine function files, getting rid of the base- prefix.
  • Added conditional NULL support where applicable, with nullOK formal. Applies to isInt, isNumber, isString, for example.
  • General documentation improvements.

goalie 0.2.4 (2019-01-06)

New functions:

  • New exports: allAreDirectories, allAreFiles, which return scalar.

Minor changes:

  • Documentation improvements.

goalie 0.2.5 (2019-01-15)

Minor changes:

  • isADirectory, isAFile: Added nullOK argument support.

goalie 0.2.6 (2019-01-22)

New functions:

  • Migrated printString from basejump package.

goalie 0.2.7 (2019-02-11)

Minor changes:

  • assert: traceback argument is disabled by default. Note that this can be enabled globally using options(goalie.traceback = TRUE), which can be useful for code debugging in some situations.
  • isSubset: Improved cause message if user attempts to pass in NULL for either x or y arguments.
  • hasNonZeroRowsAndCols: Fixed typo in internal code that didn’t check using hasCols properly.
  • isFlag: Improved cause message if user passes in NA.

goalie 0.2.8 (2019-02-11)

Minor changes:

  • Bioconda unit tests revealed that ...elt approach used in assert isn’t backward compatible with R 3.4. The backports package was added as a dependency, which provides legacy support for ...elt in R 3.4. This is called internally inside .onLoad specifically for R releases prior to 3.5.

goalie 0.2.9 (2019-02-25)

Minor changes:

  • Needed to tweak internal code in assignToBody to fix backports handling of ...elt for R 3.4.
  • hasAccess: Needed to add uname call internally for R 3.4 backward compatibility, for checks that rely upon isTRUE to return TRUE, as expected. The handling of this situation has changed in R 3.5.

goalie 0.2.10 (2019-03-10)

Minor changes:

  • isSubset: Improved cause message, which would error using internal deparse call on long vectors.

goalie 0.2.11 (2019-03-17)

Minor changes:

  • isDirectory, isFile: Now return with cause attribute set on failure.
  • Updated assert checks and reworked comments to pass lintr checks.

goalie 0.2.12 (2019-03-22)

Minor changes:

goalie 0.2.13 (2019-03-31)

Minor changes:

  • Overhauled and improved assert checks.
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes for assert checks.

goalie 0.2.14 (2019-04-02)

Minor changes:

  • standardizeCall: Improved isNonNegative assert check by wrapping in unname call, to keep backward compatibility with R 3.4.
  • Improved code coverage, getting closer to 100%.

goalie 0.2.15 (2019-04-22)

Minor changes:

  • Bug fix for name handling in assert and validate calls. Now using unname internally to prevent unexpected errors with named logical vectors.

goalie 0.2.16 (2019-05-04)

Minor changes:

  • Improved pkgdown NEWS configuration.
  • Improved Travis Docker configuration.
  • Initial commit of draft vignette.
  • Improved comments regarding call standardization and name handling inside assert function.

goalie 0.2.17 (2019-07-15)

Major changes:

  • Tweaked the internal code slightly for assert and validate to match the new conventions used in stopifnot for R 3.6 release. This should be completely backward compatible and transparency, but file an issue if you run into any unexpected bugs with this change.
  • Improved n argument handling in hasElements checks. Previously this didn’t return scalar consistently and could cause some build check issues to pop up in R 3.6, which are now fixed.
  • Removed support for R 3.4 and no longer need to import backports.

Minor changes:

  • No longer exporting extractLocal and hasLocal. These are currently only used by MethodDefinition utility functions defined here in the goalie package.
  • Improved code coverage back up to 100%.
  • Improved the documentation file names.

goalie 0.2.18 (2019-07-18)

New functions:

  • Added isDocker and skip_on_docker functions for improved conditional testing inside Docker R images.

goalie 0.2.19 (2019-07-21)

Minor changes:

  • Improved full line comments to use “##” instead of “#”, as recommended by current Bioconductor coding style.
