I am looking for a way to generate .Rout.save files for vignettes. The manual "Writing R Extensions" states here [1] in item number 20:
"If there is a target output file .Rout.save in the vignette source directory, the output from running the code in that vignette is compared with the target output file."
Yet, there is no pointer on how to get the correct .Rout.save files for vignettes. (For the files in directory "test" there is a footnote on how to get the .Rout.save files. [2])
As a temporary solution, we currently use a script that calls tools:::.run_one_vignette() on each vignette and dumps the output:
echo 'tools:::.run_one_vignette("vignette.Rnw", docDir = ".");' | R --vanilla > vignette.Rout.save
However, this doesn't result in the same code as produced by R CMD check. E.g., we get the R startup header and furthermore get the output in German where localization is available (thus having differences when running R CMD check).
Does anyone have any hints on how to automatically get the correct results (i.e., without the header)? And is it possible to include these hints in the "Writing R extensions" manual for other users?
Any help is highly appreciated.
