Does Batchtools work on windows ? #33

Closed RaphaelCouronne closed 8 years ago

RaphaelCouronne commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I tried to use batchtools on windows. I get the following error launching getStatus after creating my experiment.

> getStatus()
Error: 'mccollect' is not an exported object from 'namespace:parallel'

Looking at the function mccollect, it seems not available in windows: https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/parallel/html/mcparallel.html

Should I use BatchExperiment instead ?

Multicore is not supported for windows, but you can use makeClusterFunctionsSocket instead. I've added an error message for makeClusterFunctionsMulticore on windows in c6a0fd419edea8eee97616201e22da7c87ab32a6.

Thanks for the report.
