Run a Task Sequentially as an RStudio Job

Executes a surveillance task as an RStudio job using devtools::load_all() for package development. This function creates a temporary R script that loads the package and runs the specified task sequentially (cores = 1).

Usage

run_task_sequentially_as_rstudio_job_using_load_all(
  task_name,
  ss_prefix = "global$ss",
  run_key = NULL
)

Arguments

task_name

Character string specifying the name of the task to run.

ss_prefix

Character string specifying the prefix used to access the surveillance system object. Defaults to "global$ss".

run_key

A string that names the run, or NULL. The job passes it to run_task(). Pass a key to stage the run, as a scheduler does. With NULL the task writes its tables directly.

Value

No return value. This function is called for its side effect of launching an RStudio job that executes the surveillance task.

Details

Use this function mainly during package development, to test tasks interactively. It creates a temporary R script that:

• Loads the package using devtools::load_all().

• Sets the task to run with single core (cores = 1).

• Executes the task via the surveillance system.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Run a task as RStudio job during development
run_task_sequentially_as_rstudio_job_using_load_all("covid_analysis")

# Use custom surveillance system prefix
run_task_sequentially_as_rstudio_job_using_load_all(
  "covid_analysis",
  ss_prefix = "my_ss"
)
} # }
