Update extendr scaffolding

When a new extendr or rextendr release requires changes to scaffolding, this function helps update those files to the new specification.

Usage

update_extendr(
  path = ".",
  crate_name = NULL,
  lib_name = NULL,
  revendor = TRUE,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

path: File path to the package for which to generate wrapper code.
crate_name: String that is used as the name of the Rust crate, specifically [package] name in Cargon.toml. If NULL (default), sanitized R package name is used instead.
lib_name: String that is used as the name of the Rust library, specifically [lib] name in Cargo.toml. If NULL (default), sanitized R package name is used instead.
revendor: boolean scalar, whether to clear vendor files and re-run rextendr::vendor_pkgs() (default is TRUE).
quiet: Logical indicating whether any progress messages should be generated or not.

Value

a logical scalar indicating whether updating was successful

Details

Unfortunately, this process cannot be fully automated, so information is also printed to the console explaining what needs to be updated by hand. Usually, this will be accompanied by a more detailed blog post explaining changes.
