Update the `contributors` array of a `.zenodo.json` in place

Source: R/zenodo_json.R
update_zenodo_json.Rd

`.zenodo.json` at the register repo root is otherwise hand-maintained (title, creators, licence, community, ...); a render only keeps its `contributors` current with the codecheckers named in the register (register#58), so it needs no manual fix-up before the next Zenodo deposit. Every other key is preserved exactly - the file is parsed with `simplifyVector = FALSE` so key order and scalar-vs-array shape survive the round trip.

Usage

update_zenodo_json(register, path = ".zenodo.json")

Arguments

register

The register data frame, passed to [build_zenodo_contributors()].

path

Path to the `.zenodo.json` file. Defaults to the repo root.

Value

Invisibly, `TRUE` if the file was updated, `FALSE` if there was no file to update.

Details

A missing file is a no-op (with a message, not a warning): most working directories a render runs in - a test fixture, a partial render's temp copy - have no `.zenodo.json` at all, and that must never be an error.
