load_all() no longer works with package objects (as created by as.package)

[kevinushey]

setwd(tempdir())
usethis::create_package("test")
#> ✔ Setting active project to '/private/var/folders/qt/txb728ms5012wp_4yn369wth0000gn/T/Rtmp7dXsc3/test'
#> ✔ Creating 'R/'
#> ✔ Creating 'man/'
#> ✔ Writing 'DESCRIPTION'
#> ✔ Writing 'NAMESPACE'
pkg <- devtools::as.package("test")
devtools::load_all(pkg)
#> Error in path.expand(path): invalid 'path' argument

AFAIK this worked with devtools 1.13.6.

Is there a reason you need this?

[kevinushey]

It's a pattern we were using in the IDE:

rstudio/rstudio#3876

It made it easier to (only using devtools) load a package when given the path to a test file living within that package.

I noticed this as well. It's useful.

Thanks!
