Test Metadata for Duplicate Filenames

test_dup_meta_entries() tests to see whether there are duplicate filenames listed for the data files in (EML) metadata.

Usage

test_dup_meta_entries(metadata = load_metadata(here::here()))

Arguments

metadata

The metadata object returned by load_metadata. If parameter not provided, defaults to calling load_metadata in current project directory.

Value

Invisibly returns metadata.

Details

specifically, test_dup_meta_entries() looks at the 'physical' elements of a metadata file, which describe each data file, and asks whether there are duplicates entries under the objectName child element, which is where the file name for each data file is stored. Duplicate entries will result in the test failing with an error.

Examples

meta <- load_metadata(DPchecker_example("BICY_veg"))
#> Data are provided for example use only. Do not assume that they are complete, accurate, or up to date.
test_dup_meta_entries(meta)
#> ✔ Each data file name is used exactly once in the metadata file.
