Arguments are not captured when coercing pmtable output to stable_long

[kylebaron]

Summary

As a user, I want to be able to convert pmtable output to long table and pass along arguments to stable_long

Tests

• tests/testthat/test-as_stable.R
  • pass args to stable_long when coercing stobject
  • pass args to stable when coercing stobject
  • pass args to stable_long when coercing pmtable
  • pass args to stable when coercing pmtable

When you make a pmtable like this and want to coerce to long table

pmt_first %>% pt_cont_long(cols = "WT, ALB, SCR") %>% stable_long()

You should be able to pass in arguments to stable_long() (like a caption)

pmt_first %>% pt_cont_long(cols = "WT, ALB, SCR") %>% stable_long(lt_cap_text = "A caption")

That isn't working right now after refactoring stable_long to be generic.

The workaround is

x <- pt_cont_long(pmt_first, cols = "WT, ALB, SCR")
x$lt_cap_text <- "my caption"
do.call(what = stable_long, args = x)
