bugRzilla

The goal of bugRzilla is to provide a package to download and analyze the R bug tracker.

Installation

You can install the released version of bugRzilla from CRAN with:

install.packages("bugRzilla")

Or the development version with:

remotes::install_github("llrs/bugRzilla")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you the first “bug” on the issue tracker:

library(bugRzilla)
## basic example code
g1 <- get_bug(1)
g1
#>   blocks see_also creator keywords          depends_on dupe_of platform
#> 1     NA       NA   admin       NA 15763, 15764, 15862      NA  PowerPC
#>               url target_milestone severity is_confirmed classification
#> 1 http://url.com/              ---   normal         TRUE   Unclassified

Other packages

Just after having figured out how to authenticate via the API I realized that someone might have done this before. After a brief search I found bugtractr: It allows to access the same data (only non authenticated requests), last commit 3 years ago, no test coverage, but author is responsive.
