Ah yes sorry about that it was a vague posting.What I'd like to see when I do a R CMD check on the package and it gets to the part where it runs the test script, I'd like to show to the user on the screen the progress of the testing. What happens now is none of the cat("Test X was successful. \n") statements that I have within the .R file go to the screen. I did a search of the filesystem for a .Rout file that maybe it was sending this output to, with the same filename as my test script, but there isn't any. So I don't think R CMD BATCH is redirecting this output to anywhere that I don't want it to go. Which means I'm lost to where the output is actually going and how do I get it back onto the screen ?
If you run R CMD check mypkg, then you'll get a subdirectory created called mypkg.Rcheck. If your package has tests, this subdir will itself have a tests subdir, and that will contain a .Rout file for your tests.
One way to monitor the tests would be to run them in the background and watch that file using "tail -f" (if you have tail, or can get it).
