Param name of pins::pin_find() is interpreted as regex #270
Description
pins::pin_find() and pins::pin_info() documentation about param name states:
The exact name of the pin to match when searching.
Under Details it additionally says:
For 'local' and 'packages' boards, the 'text' parameter searches the title and description of a pin using a regular expression.
I.e. it says nothing about name being interpreted as a regular expression. But it actually is.
pins::pin(x = mtcars,
board = "local",
name = "regex.unsafe.[name]")
# nothing found
pins::pin_find(board = "local",
name = "regex.unsafe.[name]")
#> A tibble: 0 x 4
#> … with 4 variables: name <chr>, description <chr>, type <chr>, board <chr>
# wrapping `name` in literal sequence escapes `\\Q...\\E` makes the difference
pins::pin_find(board = "local",
name = "\\Qregex.unsafe.[name]\\E")
#> A tibble: 1 x 4
#> name description type board
#> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr>
#>1 regex.unsafe.[name] "" table localCreated on 2020-07-19 by the reprex package (v0.3.0)
So, my primary question: Is this the intended behaviour?
If so, the documentation should be fixed to be more clear, especially because the name param of other functions like pins::pin_get() and pins::pin_remove() is not interpreted as a regular expression.
