Get and set default working directories — setPaths • SpaDES.core

Wrapper functions to access the packages options for default working directories. Note: there is an active binding made to Paths, so a user can use Paths$cachePath for example instead of getPaths()$cachePath

.paths()

getPaths()

Paths

setPaths(
  cachePath,
  inputPath,
  modulePath,
  outputPath,
  rasterPath,
  scratchPath,
  terraPath,
  silent = FALSE
)

Format

An object of class list of length 7.

Arguments

cachePath: The default local directory in which to cache simulation outputs. If not specified, defaults to getOption("reproducible.cachePath").
inputPath: The default local directory in which to look for simulation inputs If not specified, defaults to getOption("spades.inputPath").
modulePath: The default local directory where modules and data will be downloaded and stored. If not specified, defaults to getOption("spades.modulePath").
outputPath: The default local directory in which to save simulation outputs. If not specified, defaults to getOption("spades.outputPath").
rasterPath: The default local directory in which to save transient raster files. If not specified, defaults to file.path(getOption("spades.scratchPath"), "raster"). Important note: this location may not be cleaned up automatically, so be sure to monitor this directory and remove unnecessary temp files that may contribute to excessive disk usage. This option will be deprecated in a future release.
scratchPath: The default local directory in which to save transient files. If not specified, defaults to getOption("spades.scratchPath"). Important note: this location may not be cleaned up automatically, so be sure to monitor this directory and remove unnecessary temp files that may contribute to excessive disk usage.
terraPath: The default local directory in which to save transient terra files. If not specified, defaults to file.path(getOption("spades.scratchPath"), "terra"). Important note: this location may not be cleaned up automatically, so be sure to monitor this directory and remove unnecessary temp files that may contribute to excessive disk usage.
silent: Logical. Should the messaging occur.

Value

getPaths returns a named list of the user's default working directories. setPaths is invoked for the side effect of setting these directories.
