provAnalyzeR is an R package that performs dynamic analysis on R code. It employs provenance to catch and report coding anomalies present in a given R script or within a console session.
Devtools is needed for installation:
install.packages("devtools")
Installation of all required packages (can be copied and pasted):
devtools::install_github("End-to-end-provenance/rdtLite")
devtools::install_github("End-to-end-provenance/provAnalyzeR", ref = "base")
This package also imports:
- provGraphR
- plotly
- lintr
- rstudioapi
Once installed, load the package:
library("provAnalyzeR")
While writing a script, run the script by calling:
prov.analyze.run("yourScriptNameHere.R")
If you already have provenance stored as prov.json, you can also use that file as an argument.
prov.analyze.file("prov.json")
Both of these functions will run analysis on your code and report their findings to the console. A graph of line by line execution times will also be displayed.
If you are working with RStudio, prov.analyze.run can also be quickly executed by clicking Run analysis from the addins menu. This drop-down menu appears in the top bar of RStudio, just above file names.
