requirement report can't be generated from template in validate separate from pkg

[mariev]

vt_use_report() looks for DESCRIPTION, either via get_val_leads or get_config_package

I was able to follow the following and it worked without error for me, so thats interesting.... but I think it is related to lines around this link:

valtools/R/write_validation_report.R

Line 72 in c11ad03

add_package_to_desc(

We can add an if statement to make sure we are or are not working in an R package.

However, both add_package_to_desc and add_field_to_desc already have a check to make sure they are being called within a package:

valtools/R/utils.R

Line 162 in c11ad03

if(is_package(pkg = pkg)){

@mariev Could you double check this? I was able to do the following using the current develop version:

library(valtools)
vt_create_packet("sample_packet", target = "fake_pkg")

## in the newly opened project
library(valtools)
vt_use_req("Requirement_1.md") ## and enter the interactive info
vt_use_report(template = "requirements")

I see we should adjust the requirements report:

• to not by default try to use the package being validated (line 28 in the report currently)
• Remove reference to change lot or set code to see if the change log even exists (lines 75-80 in report currently)

However, once those were commented out, I could knit the report via the knit button and via valtools::vt_validate_report(version = "1.0").
