[R] sub directories in the tests directory of a package

[David Kane <David Kane]

It seems like any directories (and their contents) beneath the /tests directory of an R package are
not copied over completely when R CMD check is run. This causes problems (for
me) when the tests for a function require some sort of directory structure. For
example, I have an R function that iteratively searches through a directory
tree for a specific file. Currently, I can not put the inputs for a test for
that function in the /tests directory. It would seem that better behavior would
be for R CMD check to simply (recursively) copy everything from the /tests
directory in the package into the /tests directory in the .Rcheck directory,
similar to the way that everything in /inst is copied over during INSTALL.

Any suggestions? I poked around in the R CMD check code, but my Perl is even
worse than my R. Or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Dave Kane
