How to use `checkCharacter()`, arg `names =` ? about checkmate HOT 2 OPEN

You seem to misunderstand what the manual says: the possible values for the names argument of checkCharacter are listed in ?checkNamed (see the type argument). So you can have sthing like:

checkCharacter(c(a = "A", b = "B"), names = "unique") # this passes
#checkCharacter(c(a = "A", b = "B"), names = "unnamed") # this fails

If you want to check for a specific set of names, you have to use checkSubset:

x <- c(a = "A", b = "B")
assert(
  checkCharacter(x),
  checkSubset(names(x), choices = base::letters),
  combine = "and"
)
