Dear all, I recently read on the help page of devtools::release()
that:
You can add arbitrary extra questions by defining an (un-exported) function called
release_questions()
that returns a character vector of additional questions to ask.
Hence, I tried to code such a function, but I think that, by default, the extra questions are ignored by devtools::release()
. I tried to develop a super small reprex with an R package (no real function but release_questions
), and it's saved here. When I run devtools::release()
inside that project (no package loaded) and answer all questions, I see that the extra question are ignored. Moreover, when I run the function devtools:::find_release_questions()
inside the project, I get character(0)
.
On the other hand, after installing and loading the package, I get the extra question via devtools::release()
and devtools:::find_release_questions()
. Does it mean that I have to load the package before running devtools::release()
to get the extra questions? Or is there a bug in the function?
