If you'd like to develop for redcapcustodian, these notes might be helpful.
The Install and Restart and Check buttons in RStudio do not build and install the vignettes even if your configure them explicitly to do that. R CMD INSTALL --preclean --no-multiarch --with-keep.source . doesn't do it either. This impedes local testing when writing vignettes. You can build and install your new and revised vignettes by running devtools::install_local(devtools::build(vignettes = T)) at the console. This will allow you to view your work with browseVignettes(package="redcapcustodian")
This project uses the Git Flow workflow for releases. Every release should be versioned and have a ChangeLog entry that describes the new features and bug fixes. Every release should also be accompanied by an updated VERSION and a manual revision to the version number in DESCRIPTION. The latter tells devtools about version number changes. The former allows image builds to be tagged as they are built by the build.sh
To deploy a new release on the Linux host, execute this series of commands or an equivalent from your home directory on that host:
git clone git@github.com:ctsit/redcapcustodian.git
cd redcapcustodian
git pull
sudo ./build.sh
