Setting `seed = TRUE` / `.progress=TRUE` globally in the R session #254

Closed elgabbas closed 1 year ago

Hello,

I would like to use the furrr::furrr_options(seed = TRUE) option in multiple furrr functions in the same session. Is it possible to set seed = T once per session, not to add it repeatedly as .options argument of furrr functions (e.g. furrr::future_map).

Similarly, is it possible to set .progress=TRUE globally in the session?

Cheers, Ahmed

No, and I don't believe that global options like this are great practice. You might end up calling someone else's function that also uses furrr, and your global option could interact with their future_map() calls in ways that you didn't expect (because you might not have even known they were using future_map())
