Overview

About

Maintained by Antoine FabriCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides debugging tools that let you inspect the intermediate results of a call. The output looks as if we explode a call into its parts hence the package name.

Changes in 0.2.0

Just a small release with a minor feature. The previous version got kicked from CRAN

because the Suggests dependency {flow} had been kicked from CRAN at the time.

New boomer.ignore_args experimental option used not to boom a function's argument

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/boomer/boomer_0.2.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "boomer_0.2.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.2.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("moodymudskipper/boomer")

Development version from moodymudskipper/boomer. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
