Work around for unit tests using sample() among various versions of R

The change in how set.seed works in R 3.6 prompted the creation of this R version agnostic replacement to get unit test code to work on multiple versions of R in a CICD test build.

Usage

set_seed(seed = 1)

Arguments

seed

argument to set.seed

Value

NULL, invisibly.

Details

It seems RNGkind(sample.kind="Rounding") does not work prior to version 3.6 so I resorted to using version dependent construction of the argument list to set.seed() in do.call().#'

Examples

set_seed(1)
rnorm(5)
#> [1] -0.6264538  0.1836433 -0.8356286  1.5952808  0.3295078
