Diff two user options files

Compares two user options files, printing the options whose values differ between them, followed by each file's deviations from the template defaults.

Usage

options_diff(
  options_file_name_a = NULL,
  options_file_name_b = NULL,
  options_dir = NULL,
  template_path = NULL
)

Arguments

options_file_name_a

[character, optional] Name of the first options file to compare. If not provided, the user will be prompted. Defaults to NULL.

options_file_name_b

[character, optional] Name of the second options file to compare. If not provided, the user will be prompted. Defaults to NULL.

options_dir

[character, optional] Full path to the folder that contains user options files. If not provided, the default folder is chosen. Defaults to NULL.

template_path

[character, optional] Full path to the options template file. Defaults to NULL.

Value

[list] Invisibly, a list with the compared files, a differences data frame, and a deviations list holding one data frame of template-default deviations per file.

Details

List-typed options (such as data.columns) are compared entry by entry, so the diff names the individual column mappings that differ rather than reporting the whole store as changed.
