context
Describe the context of a set of tests.
Description
![[Superseded]](../help/figures/lifecycle-superseded.svg)
Use of context() is no longer recommended. Instead omit it, and messages
will use the name of the file instead. This ensures that the context and
test file name are always in sync.
A context defines a set of tests that test related functionality. Usually you will have one context per file, but you may have multiple contexts in a single file if you so choose.
Usage
context(desc)
Arguments
desc |
description of context. Should start with a capital letter. |
3rd edition
![[Deprecated]](../help/figures/lifecycle-deprecated.svg)
context() is deprecated in the third edition, and the equivalent
information is instead recorded by the test file name.
Examples
context("String processing")
context("Remote procedure calls")
