See the linked issue for details. Training with multiple evaluation metrics is currently broken in the R package, for all cases where the metrics have a different number of characters (e.g.
c("auc", "binary_logloss")
.We may not have caught this until now because the bug doesn't show up if the metrics have the same number of characters, e.g.
c("l1", "l2")
orc("rmse", "mape")
.I've added tests in this PR which should prevent us from re-introducing this bug.
I also added explicit uses of
return()
inlgb.params2str()
just to make that function a bit more explicit.
