buildtest comes with option to build test for R packages to test R packages are working as expected. The R tests are coming from the repository https://github.com/HPC-buildtest/R-buildtest-config
In buildtest this repository is defined by variable BUILDTEST_R_REPO that
can be tweaked by environment variable or configuration file (config.yaml)
buildtest supports tab completion for option --r-package which will show
a list of r packages available for testing.
To illustrate the tab completion feature see command below

To build r package test you must specify a R module. buildtest will
generate the binarytest along with any test from R package specified by
option --r-package.
The following command _buildtest build -s R/3.4.3-intel-2018a-X11-20171023 --r-package abc
will build R test along with R package abc
.. program-output:: cat scripts/r_packagetest_abc.txt
This option is compatible with --shell, --enable-job and --job-template if you want to build
tests with different shell or create job scripts
