"Hey I'd like to find which commit introduced a bug!"

Source: R/exo-bisect.R
exo_bisect.Rd

I notice a bug in my codebase. I can see the bug was not there a bunch of commits ago. Beside doing regular debugging, I can find out which commit introduced the bug by using git bisect. See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bisect and https://www.jimhester.com/post/2019-04-24-git-bisect/.

Usage

exo_bisect(parent_path)

Arguments

parent_path

Path where to create the exercise repo

Value

The path to the new project

Workflow

Running the function will create the exercise as a new folder in parent_path. If called from RStudio or Positron, the function will open a new R session in that IDE. If not, the user will need to navigate to the path returned by the function, and launch an R session from there. The new R session will display messages about what challenge to solve, and running the tip() function from that new R session will display additional guiance.

git bisect.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive()
parent_path <- withr::local_tempdir()
path <- exo_bisect(parent_path = parent_path)
}
