A function to read import specifications from the file system. The function accepts a full or relative path to the spec file, and returns the specs as an object. If the file_path parameter is passed as a directory name, the function will search for a file with a '.specs' extension and read it.

read.specs(file_path = getwd())

Arguments

file_path

The full or relative path to the file system. Default is the current working directory. If the file_path is a file name that does not contain the '.specs' file extension, the function will add the extension. If the file_path contains a directory name, the function will search the directory for a file with an extension of '.specs'. If more than one file with an extension of '.specs' is founds, the function will generate an error.

Value

The specifications object.
