Function listing packages' namespaces

Time:06-04

Could anyone change this function listing environments in the current session so that it would list packages' namespaces too?

env_list <- function(start_env) {
  last <- function(s) { s[[length(s)]]}
  result <- list(start_env)
  while(!identical(emptyenv(), last(result))) {
    result <- c(result, list(parent.env(last(result))))
  }
  result
}
env_list(globalenv())

The output of this function should look something like this:

[[1]]

<environment: R_GlobalEnv>

[[2]]
<environment: package:igraph>
attr(,"name")
[1] "package:igraph"
attr(,"path")
[1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1-arm64/Resources/library/igraph"

[[6]]
<environment: base>

[[7]]
<environment: R_EmptyEnv>

[[8]]
<environment: namespace:igraph>

[[9]]
<environment: 0x10420cdd8>

[[15]]
<environment: namespace:base>

[[26]]
<environment: namespace:methods>

[[49]]
<environment: 0x1041b3de8>
attr(,"name")
[1] "imports:igraph"

Try this

env_list <- function(start_env) {
  last <- function(s) { s[[length(s)]]}
  result <- list(start_env)
  nmspcs <- list()
  while(!identical(emptyenv(), last(result))) {
    env <- parent.env(last(result))
    if(startsWith(environmentName(env) , "package")){
      nm <- sub("package:" , "" , environmentName(env))
      result <- c(result, list(env))
      nmspcs <- c(nmspcs,list(loadNamespace(nm)))
    }
    else {
      result <- c(result, list(env))
    }
      
  }
  c(result , nmspcs)
}
