Copy files from manifest into the codecheck folder and summarise.

Copy manifest files into the root/codecheck/outputs folder; return manifest.

Usage

copy_manifest_files(
  root,
  metadata,
  dest_dir,
  keep_full_path = FALSE,
  overwrite = FALSE
)

Arguments

root: - Path to the root folder of the project.
metadata: - the codecheck metadata list.
dest_dir: - folder where outputs are to be copied to (codecheck/outputs)
keep_full_path: - TRUE to keep relative pathname of figures.
overwrite: - TRUE to overwrite the output files even if they already exist

Value

A dataframe containing one row per manifest file.

Details

The metadata should specify the manifest – the files to copy into the codecheck/oututs folder. Each of the files in the manifest is copied into the destination directory and then the manifest is returned as a dataframe. If KEEP_FULL_PATH is TRUE, we keep the full path for the output files. This is useful when there are two output files with the same name in different folders, e.g. expt1/out.pdf and expt2/out.pdf

Whitespace in the names of the copies is replaced by underscores, e.g. Figure 1.png is copied to Figure_1.png, because LaTeX cannot reliably include files with spaces in their names. The output column keeps the name from the manifest, dest holds the path of the copy.
