demotivr

demotivr allows the user to display random nihilistic and generally depressing messages after an error.

Installation

You can install demotivr from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("joranE/demotivr")

Usage

demotivr provides a way to display periodic demotivational messages on the console whenever an error occurs. You enable this behavior by setting options("error") to:

options(error = demotivr::nothing_matters)

in your .Rprofile. The frequency with which demotivational messages are triggered can be controlled by setting the demotivr.abuse_level option, also in your .Rprofile:

options(demotivr.abuse_level = 0.5)

If unset (or if not set to a number between 0 and 1) it will default to 0.1.

After this setup, running code that triggers an error will randomly display an additional message:

> log("a")
Error in log("a") : non-numeric argument to mathematical function
You are never more alone than when you are debugging.
