Figure out how to get Rstudio Autocomplete To Read Default Method Docs #148

Closed brodieG closed 4 years ago

brodieG commented 4 years ago

From #147:

I got stymied there by relying on argument auto-complete in RStudio -- it only returns options for the default method, so I didn't see the ANY signature arguments to tinker around with.

It could also look at the doc file more deeply. For example, diffPrint documents both the generic and the ANY method in the same page. It wouldn't be a stretch to use both when providing auto-complete options.

I deleted my earlier comment since it was in error. Actually RStudio does seem to pick up some method docs (I tried d <- as.IDate(Sys.Date()); as.POSIXct(d, <TAB>). Maybe it's just for S3?

Possibly an Rstudio bug. Closing until there is evidence it isn't a bug there.
