Absolute path linter — absolute_path_linter • lintr

Check that no absolute paths are used (e.g. "/var", "C:\System", "~/docs").

Usage

absolute_path_linter(lax = TRUE)

Arguments

lax

Less stringent linting, leading to fewer false positives. If TRUE, only lint path strings, which

contain only alphanumeric chars (including UTF-8), spaces, and win32-allowed punctuation
