Swaps every hardcoded 9-char canonical_govid literal (Broward County,
Fort Lauderdale City, Florida/Alabama state govts, Bexar/Tarrant/Wayne
counties, San Diego/Oakland/Miami/Austin cities) for its 12-char Phase P
equivalent, resolved by name+type+state against the regenerated fixture
xwalk. Also updates two gov_name search patterns that no longer match
under Phase P canonical naming ("FLORIDA STATE GOVT" -> "FLORIDA"; the
"Miami" substring test now pins type = "city" since MIAMI-DADE COUNTY's
canonical name now also contains "Miami", which would otherwise make the
match ambiguous across govs_types instead of resolving via largest-pop).
Underlying per-year population figures for Broward County and Alabama
are unchanged, so no expected data-value literals needed recomputation.
Suite: 126 test blocks / 336 expectations, 0 FAIL / 0 WARN / 0 SKIP.
uscogdata
Curated R reader for the Civilytics US Census of Governments finance corpus.
Provides unit-level financial profiles, geographic rollups, and peer comparisons with auditable provenance and built-in cross-vintage correctness. Reads the published corpus (Hive-partitioned parquet + manifest.json) directly from Nextcloud via DuckDB httpfs — no local bulk downloads required.
Status
Under active development (Phase 2 of the cog_pipeline project). See
../cog_pipeline/docs/reader-specification.md for the reader contract this
package implements.
Installation
# pak::pkg_install("gitea.civilytics.org/Civilytics/uscogdata")
Configuration
USCOGDATA_URL— corpus root URL (public Nextcloud share, trailing slash)USCOGDATA_CACHE_DIR— optional override for the manifest cache directoryUSCOGDATA_MANIFEST_TTL_SECS— optional manifest re-fetch TTL (default 3600)
Developer notes
Testing
The package ships a bundled fixture corpus at inst/extdata/fixture_corpus/ —
a 3.6 MB two-year slice (2019 + 2020) of the full corpus covering all 50
states. tests/testthat/setup.R automatically points USCOGDATA_URL at this
fixture, so the full test suite runs offline with no network dependency:
devtools::test() # uses bundled fixture, no credentials required
Releasing against the live corpus
Before cutting a release, run the test suite against the published corpus to catch any drift between the fixture and the real data:
Sys.setenv(USCOGDATA_URL = "<published-corpus-url-with-trailing-slash>")
devtools::test()
When the live-corpus run is clean, strip the fixture from the built package by
adding this line to .Rbuildignore:
^inst/extdata/fixture_corpus$
The test suite is URL-agnostic — setup.R falls back to USCOGDATA_URL when
the bundled fixture is absent, so no test code changes are needed for the
release run or after stripping the fixture.
