A consolidated report from multiple agents

[eastclintw00d]

In my ETL routines I often build multiple tables in a single script. I would like to run agents on all of them and afterwards get a consolidated report. Is that possible? I did not find a clear statement in that direction.

This is now possible in the development version of the package with the improved get_multiagent_report() function. The docs at https://rich-iannone.github.io/pointblank/reference/get_multiagent_report.html explain how the function works now. Basically it's create several agents (and interrogate()), create a multiagent with create_multiagent(), then either print the object or use get_multiagent_report() to customize the report output.

Let me know how this works out for you!

Thanks @rich-iannone,

It does almost what I want. The problem in my case is that the tables are completely unrelated. According to the link you posted there should be an option to set display_mode = "long" while, in fact, in version 0.7.0 the option seems to be removed and display_mode = "wide" is set.

It would also be great if there was a method for all_passed() applied to a multiagent object.

@eastclintw00d What you need currently is the dev version of the package (this feature is not in 0.7.0). So use devtools::install_github("rich-iannone/pointblank") to get that. Pretty soon (maybe 2-3 weeks from now), pointblank 0.8.0 will be released so the long report style will be available in the CRAN version.

@eastclintw00d I like your idea about making all_passed() work with the multiagent. I'll file an issue to get that work prioritized.

Thanks, your github version provides exactly what I was looking for.
