Compatibility with Project Template repo srtucture

r-leyshon commented 4 years ago

Hi there,

I'm unsure if you have any plans to achieve this, but it would definitely help me schedule a la project template website

If this is of interest, some detail. I've toyed around with scheduling the 'initialise.R' script in the src folder. Looking at the logs generated, this appears to run and then sources the first of the munge scripts used to generate urls to scrape in the successive munge scripts. As you will see execution halts after munge script 1, which is perplexing as this is not a behaviour when manually executing the source file. Next steps for me are to try a cron job and failing that, go back to cronR but with a single script layout. Running R version 4.0.1 (2020-06-06) -- "See Things Now" on Mac. Below is the output from that log:

I have no clue based on your input where your error is coming from. Best is to check your code with options(echo = TRUE) and see where it fails. The schedule has apparently run, so it is not a cronR issue as all cronR does is scheduling R scripts making no assumptions on where things are running. So it is an issue in your script highly likely your using relative paths instead of absolute paths.

As this seems not an issue of the cronR package as the schedule runs but your own script fails, I'll close this. Feel free to reopen if this is not the case.

bnosac / cronR
