Follow the steps outlined in this guide to migrate your project to Rhino 1.7. Before starting, ensure your Git working tree is clean, or back up your project if not using Git.
This guide assumes you are migrating from Rhino 1.6. If you are currently using an older version of Rhino, please start with Rhino 1.6 Migration Guide.
Step 1: Install Rhino 1.7
Use the following command to install Rhino 1.7 and update your
renv.lock
file:
rhino::pkg_install("rhino@1.7.0")
After the installation, restart your R session to ensure all changes take effect.
Step 2: Update your linter rules
Edit the .lintr
file in your project so it includes the
following rules:
linters:
linters_with_defaults(
box_func_import_count_linter = rhino::box_func_import_count_linter(),
box_separate_calls_linter = rhino::box_separate_calls_linter(),
box_trailing_commas_linter = rhino::box_trailing_commas_linter(),
box_universal_import_linter = rhino::box_universal_import_linter(),
line_length_linter = line_length_linter(100),
object_usage_linter = NULL # Does not work with `box::use()`.
)
Step 3: Test your project
Test your project thoroughly to ensure everything works properly
after the migration. In particular, run rhino::lint_r()
and
fix the problems it reports.
