debugging with rstudio while running testthat tests

[Gregory Jefferis]

Hello,

I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious, but how can I have breakpoints set in rstudio honoured when I use devtools::test to run testthat tests. Breakpoints seem to be ignored during tests. My current workaround is to insert an explicit browser() call into the source code when I want to debug a function call triggered by a test – or copy/paste the test code into the console.

Many thanks,

Greg.

Hi Gregory,

This is a great idea, and I've added a note about it at
https://github.com/hadley/testthat/issues/116. I think it should be
relatively straightforward, and I'll look into it the next time I'm
working on testthat.
