Space error

[FelipeCarrillo]

I am getting this error:

taskscheduleR:::taskschedulerAddin() Error in taskscheduleR:::taskschedulerAddin() : Make sure the RscriptRepository does not contain spaces, change argument C:/Program Files/R/R-3.2.1/library/taskscheduleR/extdata to another location on your drive which contains no spaces

Change the path of 'Rscript repo: location where Rscripts will be copied to schedule + location of logs' to a path where there are no spaces in as 'Program Files' contains a space. E.g. change it to C:\Users\myusername\Desktop

I am having this same issue. Can you elaborate on how exactly where to go to change this?

If you run taskscheduleR from R. Make sure the rscript argument is the full path to the filename. This filename should not contain spaces. E.g. see below where I launch an .R script which is located at my desktop.

library(taskscheduleR)
taskscheduler_create(taskname = "hithere", 
                     rscript="C:/Users/Jan/Desktop/helloworld.R",
                     schedule = "ONCE", 
                     starttime = format(Sys.time() + 62, "%H:%M"),
                     startdate = format(Sys.Date(), "%d/%m/%Y")) 

"C:/Program Files/R/R-3.2.1/library/taskscheduleR/extdata" contains a space - namely between Program and Files. So put your R script somewhere else in a folder without spaces.

If you use the RStudio addin. Just change the place where it says 'Rscript repo: location where Rscripts will be copied to schedule + location of logs' to a folder on your hard disk where there are no spaces in. E.g. C:/Users/Jan/Desktop/myscripts

Thanks for the information.

Is there a way to change the default starting path argument for the Rstudio addin? Right now the addin will not even launch in RStudio due to the path name space issue.

Can you provide a screenshot of the error message you seem to get.

[nsittler]

See attached for screenshot of the RStudio console.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I don't see the image but I think I understand your issue. I move the checking of the spaces in the path to when creating the task. That will allow to start up the add-in even it is installed in a Program Files directory or another directory with spaces in. Please re-install with install_github & check.

[nsittler]

That did the trick. Thanks so much for the help and the great package!
