Check to be sure that result files from stitch_site are up to date

Check that source files for a site and year haven't changed since stitch_site was used to create result files. Uses hash.txt, created by check_site. Separately reports on missing hash file, missing source or result files, and changed source or result files.

Usage

check_site(site_dir, check_report = TRUE, check_baywatchers = TRUE)

Arguments

site_dir

Full path to site data (i.e., <base>/<year>/<site>). The path must include QC'd results and result files from stitch_site.

check_report

If TRUE, check to see if the report is up to date. Don't check when calling from report_site, of course.

check_baywatchers

IF TRUE, check to see if the extracted Baywatchers data are up to date with respect to the source Baywatchers Excel file in the base data directory.

Value

Silently returns TRUE if validation was successful.

Details

Note that check_site does not throw errors–it simply tells you what's wrong. A calling function (currently, just report_site) can use the silent return value to throw appropriate errors.
