Validate the structure of a project configuration object

Usage

validate_project(scfg = list(), quiet = FALSE, correct_problems = FALSE)

Arguments

scfg: a project configuration object as produced by load_project or setup_project
quiet: if TRUE, suppress messages about validation failures
correct_problems: if TRUE, prompt user to correct validation failures. In this case, an amended scfg object will be returned. If FALSE, validate_project will simply return TRUE/FALSE to indicate whether the project is valid.

Details

If correct_problems = FALSE, the return will be TRUE/FALSE to indicate whether the project passed validation. If it did not, an attribute called 'gaps' will be added to the return containing the failed fields in the nested list string syntax (e.g. metadata/log_directory).
