Dear all,
I set a generic s4 funciton, then add a method.
When I do this, I notice that when pressing tab, the arguments to this
method do not appear like they do for generic functions, instead I get an
elipsis.
i.e.
> setClass("batchFile")
[1] "batchFile"
>
> setGeneric("Gen1", function(batchFile, ...) standardGeneric("Gen1"))
[1] "Gen1"
>
> setMethod("Gen1", signature = "batchFile", definition =
+ function(batchFile, xxx, yyy, zzz) { return(batchFile) }
+ )
[1] "Gen1"
> Gen1(
...= batchFile=
Note that xx, yy and zzz are not displayed when pressing <tab> after Gen1(
contrast that to
> Gen1 <- function(batchFile, xxx, yyy, zzz) { return(batchFile) }
> Gen1(
batchFile= xxx= yyy= zzz=
Is there a way to allow <tab> to show the extra options? Or has this been
deliberately disabled in order to allow someone to set a number of different
methods with method specific arguments with a single generic?
Many thanks,
Jim
