Running the tests

Tests require the {testthat} package to be installed in R. To run the tests for an exercise, simply execute the test_<exercise_name>.R script from within the exercise's directory.

This can be conveniently done with testthat's auto_test function. Because exercism code and tests are in the same folder, use this same path for both code_path and test_path parameters. On the command-line, you can also run Rscript test_<exercise_name>.R.

See the tests page for more information.

Submitting your solution

You can submit your solution using the exercism submit hello-world.R command. This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.

It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:

• See how others have completed the exercise
• Request help from a mentor

If you'd like help solving the exercise, check the following pages:

• The R track's documentation

Should those resources not suffice, you could submit your (incomplete) solution to request mentoring.
