platform_variant

Get platform variant including OS and R version

Description

Returns a variant string combining OS and R major.minor version. This is useful for RDS snapshots that vary by both platform and R version.

Usage

platform_variant()

Details

RDS files can produce different binary output across R versions even when using the same serialization version. This function creates variant strings like "linux-4.4", "darwin-4.5", "windows-4.4" to handle these differences.

Use this function with testthat::expect_snapshot_file() when testing RDS files or other formats that vary by both OS and R version.

Value

A character string like "linux-4.4", "darwin-4.5", or "windows-4.4"
