\title{Check a package's adherence with the Bioconductor Package Guidelines}
\usage{
BiocCheck(
  package = getwd(),
  checkDir = dirname(package),
  debug = FALSE,
  callr = FALSE,
  ...
)
}
\arguments{
\item{package}{The path to an R package directory or tarball (\code{.tar.gz}).
The \code{BiocCheck} function is intended to be run from the package
directory; therefore, the current working directory (given by \code{getwd()})
is the default.}

\item{checkDir}{The directory where the \code{BiocCheck} output directory will be
stored. By default, it will be placed in the same directory as the package
directory i.e., \code{dirname(pkg_dir)}.}

\item{debug}{Whether to append the names of functions that correspond to
each condition raised by \code{BiocCheck} in the written log (i.e., in the
\code{'<package_name>.BiocCheck'} folder). This option is only relevant to
developers and contributors to \code{BiocCheck}.}

\item{callr}{logical(1) Whether to use the \code{callr} package to run \code{BiocCheck}
in an isolated R session to prevent namespace collisions.}

\item{\dots}{See the details section for available options. When running
\code{BiocCheck}, options can be specified as:
\preformatted{ BiocCheck(package, `no-check-vignettes`=TRUE) }}
}
\value{
\code{BiocCheck()} is chiefly called for the side effect of the check
reporting. The function also creates a \verb{<package_name>.BiocCheck} folder
and returns a \code{BiocCheck} reference class with three main list elements:
\itemize{
\item \strong{error}: Items to address before the package can be accepted
\item \strong{warning}: Strongly suggested items that may require attention
\item \strong{note}: Items to consider, though not required, before acceptance
}
}
\description{
Analyzes an R package for adherence with Bioconductor package guidelines and
best practices. The check outputs are categorized into ERROR, WARNING, and
NOTE. See the vignette for more details. \code{BiocCheck} is complementary
to \verb{R CMD check}, which should always be run first.
}
\details{
\code{BiocCheck()} reviews R packages for adherence with Bioconductor
package guidelines and best practices. See
\url{https://contributions.bioconductor.org} for the latest guidance for
writing Bioconductor software. Some rationale behind these best practices
can be seen in the vignette and pages in the \code{references} section. The
vignette also provides detailed explanations of all the checks performed by
\code{BiocCheck}.

\code{BiocCheck} is called within R with \preformatted{ BiocCheck(<package>)
} where \code{package} points to the source directory or the \code{.tar.gz}
tarball that was created using \verb{R CMD build}.

\emph{Note} that \code{BiocCheck} is complementary to \verb{R CMD check}.
\verb{R CMD check} should always be run first for best results.
