Load the Shiny application's support environment

Executes all ./R files and global.R into the current environment. This is useful when wanting access to functions or values created in the ./R folder for testing purposes.

Usage

load_app_env(
  app_dir = "../../",
  renv = rlang::caller_env(),
  globalrenv = rlang::caller_env()
)

Arguments

app_dir

The base directory for the Shiny application.

renv

The environment in which the files in the `R/`` directory should be evaluated.

globalrenv

The environment in which global.R should be evaluated. If NULL, global.R will not be evaluated at all.

Details

Loading these files is not automatically performed by test_app() and must be called in ./tests/testthat/setup-shinytest2.R if access to support file objects is desired.
