Diagnose the DESCRIPTION Date Field

Flags a Date field that is not ISO 8601 yyyy-mm-dd, is over a month old, or lies in the future. Mirrors the CRAN incoming check; an absent Date field (the common, preferred case) passes.

Usage

diagnose_date_format(path = ".", verbose = TRUE, desc = NULL)

Arguments

path

Character. Path to the package directory. Default: ".".

verbose

Logical. Print diagnostic output. Default: TRUE.

desc

Optional pre-parsed DESCRIPTION, as returned by base::read.dcf(). Defaults to reading it from path.

Value

checktor_check_result() with passed, issues, message.

See also

checktor(), which runs this and every other check.
