I am developing a package and I want to be able to load an updated
version of the package from within an active R session. Suppose, for
example, I have a function f within a package X. In my active R
session, I have already loaded X. Then I change the R source code of f
within X and rebuild the package as a .tar.gz file on the command line with
R CMD build X
Within my R session, is there a way to reload X such that the updated
definition of f will be used? I have tried:
> detach("package:X")
> install.packages("X.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")
> library(X)
but this seems to use the old version of f. Any suggestions would be
much appreciated!
Many thanks in advance!
Roger
