Prepopulating Test Catalog #6

Closed jwrudolf closed 5 years ago

@amromeo

Hi Amrom,

I uploaded the pared data set test_catalog.xlsx to the data folder.

When it is time to prepare the master RStudio Cloud environment, would you mind loading this and assigning to an object called test_catalog?

Thanks! Joe

hey @jwrudolf im not sure rstudio cloud works the way you imagine. I believe when users log in then they are given a clean environment. no prepopulated objects. could have that wrong though. I believe the approved way to do this is to add this to a .Rprofile file, which will get loaded every time that the project is open. we should confirm that this function is working as planned: https://github.com/amromeo/api_r2019/commit/1c4638c4f58747888159967f3a8efd255702262a

ok, at least on my first attempt this seemed to work, still needs further confirmation

Thanks for investigating Amrom. Yes, the cloud probably doesn't work the way I imagined (the cloud in general is a mystery to me!)

Maybe we can embed a read xl into the profile (is this what you were testing?)

Other thought is do we need to embed a tidyverse install into the profile or is there another mechanism for staging the workspace for that?

I signed into the project with a non-admin and saw readxl pre-loaded as well as the test catalog object. I believe tidyverse is pre-installed by default, I was able to load the package.

i installed tidyverse into the project, so that should be set (could've already been there, not sure). only thing i wasn't sure about was the environment. thanks patrick for checking it out.
