--- title: "Introduction to the rqualify Package" description: > Introduction to the rqualify Package. output: rmarkdown::html_vignette vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{Introduction to the rqualify Package} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- # R Installation IQ/OQ This vignette is an overview of the `R-validation.Rmd` file, showing what code is executed when the file is rendered. This overview is for informational purposes and documents the internal structure of the `R-validation.Rmd` file. If any of the code blocks are updated, this is not considered a breaking change as the document will still render properly. Please see for the full documentation. Here is a minimal usage example: ```{r, eval = FALSE} library(rqualify) # Render the R-validation report, must have TinyTeX and Pandoc installed, # otherwise set setup_tinytex and setup_pandoc to TRUE. rqualify(path_save = tempdir(), setup_tinytex = FALSE, setup_pandoc = FALSE) ``` ## R-validation.Rmd Contents Below includes example output of installation facts, installation qualification, and operational qualification. The installation facts and qualification results are generated at the time of the package build or site build, while the operational qualification results were generated on a Windows machine with R version 4.5.1. Here, the code blocks are shown for informational purposes, the actual PDF report does not include the code blocks, only the results of each executed code block. ```{r codeexec, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE} # Helper function for running code at the command line code_exec <- function(code_block, file_prefix, folder_output){ # Set code file name file_code <- file.path(folder_output, paste0(file_prefix, ".R")) # Write code_block to R file fileConn <- file(file_code) writeLines(code_block, fileConn) close(fileConn) # Set output file name file_output <- file.path(folder_output, paste0(file_prefix, "Out.txt")) # Command to run @ command line cmd <- paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")), "CMD BATCH --vanilla --no-timing", shQuote(file_code), shQuote(file_output)) # Run the command run <- try(system(cmd)) # Load results and return readLines(file.path(folder_output, paste0(file_prefix, "Out.txt"))) } # Define tempdir() dir_temp <- file.path(tempdir(), "IQ-OQ-TestOutput") dir.create(dir_temp, showWarnings = FALSE) dir_temp <- normalizePath(dir_temp, winslash="/") ``` ### Installation Qualification First, some R installation facts are gathered and stored in variables. These variables are then used to populate the title page of the report with details about the R installation being qualified. ```{r titlepage, message=FALSE} # Get R installation facts RVersionInfo <- R.Version() Version <- RVersionInfo$version.string Arch <- gsub("_", " ", RVersionInfo$arch) Platform <- gsub("_", " ", RVersionInfo$platform) ``` ~~~~~~~ R Version: `r Version` Architecture: `r Arch` Platform: `r Platform` ~~~~~~~ --- The following is the output of `R.home()`, showing where R was installed on this computer: ```{r rhome} r_home <- paste0(R.home(), sep="\n") ``` ~~~~~~~ ```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"} cat(paste0(r_home, collapse = "\n")) ``` ~~~~~~~ --- The following is the output of `system("R -e 'q()'")`, presenting the R welcome banner as displayed from a default R console (terminal) to show the R console correctly running and then exiting: ```{r rbanner} # Output the R startup banner results0 <- try(system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")), "-e", shQuote("q()")), intern = TRUE)) if (class(results0) != "try-error"){ results0 <- paste(results0, collapse = "\n") results0 <- gsub("> q\\(\\)", "", results0) } else{ results0 <- "Unable to execute R at the command line" } ``` ~~~~~~~ ```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"} cat(results0) ``` ~~~~~~~ --- The following is the output of `Sys.info()`, defining some details about the current system upon which R is running and user information: ```{r rsysinfo} # Run Sys.info() at the command line results_sysinfo <- code_exec(code_block = "Sys.info()", file_prefix = "sysinfo", folder_output = dir_temp) # Clean-up the results (remove the unnecessary preamble and arrow) results_sysinfo_clean <- results_sysinfo[-(1:(which(results_sysinfo == "> Sys.info()")))] if(any(results_sysinfo_clean == "> ")){ results_sysinfo_clean <- results_sysinfo_clean[-which(results_sysinfo_clean == "> ")] } ``` ~~~~~~~ ```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"} cat(paste0(results_sysinfo_clean, collapse = "\n")) ``` ~~~~~~~ --- The following is the output of `.Platform`, defining some details of the platform upon which R was built (compiled): ```{r rplatform} # Run .Platform at the command line results_platform <- code_exec(code_block = ".Platform", file_prefix = "platform", folder_output = dir_temp) # Clean-up the results (remove the unnecessary preamble) results_platform_clean <- results_platform[-(1:(which(results_platform == "> .Platform")))] if(any(results_platform_clean == "> ")){ results_platform_clean <- results_platform_clean[-which(results_platform_clean == "> ")] } ``` ~~~~~~~ ```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"} cat(paste0(results_platform_clean, collapse = "\n")) ``` ~~~~~~~ --- The following is the output of `R.version`, defining detailed information on the currently running version of R: ```{r rversion} # Run R.version at the command line results_rversion <- code_exec(code_block = "R.version", file_prefix = "rversion", folder_output = dir_temp) # Clean-up the results (remove the unnecessary preamble) results_rversion_clean <- results_rversion[-(1:(which(results_rversion == "> R.version")))] if(any(results_rversion_clean == "> ")){ results_rversion_clean <- results_rversion_clean[-which(results_rversion_clean == "> ")] } ``` ~~~~~~~ ```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"} cat(paste0(results_rversion_clean, collapse = "\n")) ``` ~~~~~~~ --- The following is the output of `.Machine`, defining the numerical characteristics of the computer upon which R is running: ```{r rmachine} # Run .Machine at the command line results_machine <- code_exec(code_block = ".Machine", file_prefix = "machine", folder_output = dir_temp) # Clean-up the results (remove the unnecessary preamble) results_machine_clean <- results_machine[-(1:(which(results_machine == "> .Machine")))] if(any(results_machine_clean == "> ")){ results_machine_clean <- results_machine_clean[-which(results_machine_clean == "> ")] } ``` ~~~~~~~ ```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"} cat(paste0(results_machine_clean, collapse = "\n")) ``` ~~~~~~~ --- The following is the output of `sessionInfo()`, defining current R version, locale information and attached packages: ```{r rsession} # Run sessionInfo() at the command line results_sessioninfo <- code_exec(code_block = "sessionInfo()", file_prefix = "sessioninfo", folder_output = dir_temp) # Clean-up the results (remove the unnecessary preamble) results_sessioninfo_clean <- results_sessioninfo[-(1:(which(results_sessioninfo == "> sessionInfo()")))] if(any(results_sessioninfo_clean == "> ")){ results_sessioninfo_clean <- results_sessioninfo_clean[-which(results_sessioninfo_clean == "> ")] } ``` ~~~~~~~ ```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"} cat(paste0(results_sessioninfo_clean, collapse = "\n")) ``` ~~~~~~~ --- The following is the output of `.libPaths()`, the current package library location;
