Generates Powershell commands for batch script.

Helps users create the appropriate Powershell commands per user specifications, such as Rscript.exe location, pandoc, standard log outputs, etc. This function will parameterize by setting respective variables for easy manual editing.

Usage

create_r_batch_script(
  path_r_exe = NA_character_,
  path_proj_dir = NA_character_,
  path_run_script = NA_character_,
  path_std_log = NULL,
  .check_o_dirve = F,
  .set_pandoc = F,
  .load_renv = T,
  .renv_run = F,
  ...
)

Arguments

path_r_exe

full executable path to Rscript.exe. If NA, will automatically be determined based on the version of R in use.

path_proj_dir

folder path to project. If NA, will automatically invoke getwd().

path_run_script

user must supply the path to the script to execute. Can supply without project directory for convenience. The function will check file existence.

path_std_log

full file path to a log, where standard outputs will be redirected to. If NULL, a project_name.log will be created in a "log" directory under project root. If no log should be produced, this can accept boolean value False.

.check_o_dirve

boolean value. Defaults to False. If True, adds line to check if O drive is mapped, and will map if not.

.set_pandoc

boolean value. Defaults to False. If True, adds line to set pandoc location using rmarkdown::find_pandoc().

.load_renv

boolean value. Defaults to False. If True, adds line to check if renv is installed, and will install if not. This will also explicitly load project with renv::load().

.renv_run

boolean value. Defaults to False, and uses source() to run script. If True, will use renv::run() to run script.

...

users can supply further values to be assigned to variables. The name of the parameter corresponds to the variable, and the value will be assigned per Powershell syntax.
