Relative `andromedaTempFile` causes write issue in some environments

[msuchard]

This option(andromedaTempFile = "~/andromeda") causes a write issue in (at least) one RstudioServer/linux environment, while option(andromedaTempFile = "/home/user/andromeda") works just fine.

Am not sure what the issue is, but posting here so that we do not forget the work-around.

Maybe we could use path.expand when reading the andromedaTempFile option?

[msuchard]

That's a great idea. I'll check it out when I can coordinate access to this environment again. Thanks!

I can confirm that in this environment:

path.expand("~/andromeda") expands to "/home/username/andromeda". I'll make the patch.

This is fixed as far as I know. Closing the issue.
