The \code{biocBuildEmail} function provides a template for notifying

maintainers of errors in the Bioconductor Build System (BBS). This convenience function returns the body of the email from a template within the package and provides a copy in the clipboard.

biocBuildEmail(
  pkg,
  version = c("release", "devel"),
  PS = character(1L),
  dry.run = TRUE,
  to = NULL,
  cc = NULL,
  bcc = NULL,
  emailTemplate = templatePath(),
  core.name = NULL,
  core.email = NULL,
  core.id = NULL,
  textOnly = FALSE,
  resend = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  credFile = "~/.blastula_creds"
)

Arguments

pkg

character(1) The name of the package in trouble

version

character() A vector indicating which version of Bioconductor the package is failing in (either 'release' or 'devel'; defaults to both)

PS

character(1) Postscript, an additional note to the recipient of the email (i.e., the package maintainer)

dry.run

logical(1) Display the email without sending to the recipient. It only works for HTML email reports and ignored when textOnly=TRUE

to

character() A vector of email addresses serving as primary recipients for the message. For secondary recipients, use the cc and bcc arguments.

cc, bcc

character() A vector of email addresses for sending the message as a carbon copy or blind carbon copy.

emailTemplate

character(1) The path to the email template Rmd file as obtained by templatePath(). A custom template can be provided as file path.

core.name

character(1) The full name of the core team member

core.email

character(1) The Roswell Park email of the core team member

core.id

character(1) The internal identifier for the Roswell employee. This ID usually matches ^[A-Z]{2}[0-9]{5} for more recent identifiers.

textOnly

logical(1) Whether to return the text of the email only. This avoids the use of the 'blastula' package and adds the text to the system clipboard if the clipr package is installed (default: FALSE)

resend

logical(1) Whether to force a resend of the email

verbose

logical(1) Whether to output full email information from 'smtp_send' (when dry.run is FALSE and 'blastula' is installed)

credFile

character(1) An optional file generated by the blastula::create_smtp_creds_file function containing email authentication information (default: "~/.blastula_creds"). See ?biocBuildEmail details.

Value

A character string of the email

Details

The credFile argument is a convenience for avoiding password entry at every instance an email is sent. If the default file ~/.blastula_creds does not exist, the user will be prompted for authorization information. Currently it is configured to emails for the core-team:


        blastula::create_smtp_creds_file(
            file = "~/.blastula_creds",
            user = "user.email@domain.org",
            host = "smtp.office365.com",
            port = 587,
            use_ssl = TRUE
        )
