Cancel tasks

Cancel one or more tasks

Usage

task_cancel(id, follow = TRUE, root = NULL)

Arguments

id

The task id or task ids to cancel

follow

Logical, indicating if we should follow any retried tasks.

root

A hipercow root, or path to it. If NULL we search up your directory tree.

Value

A logical vector the same length as id indicating if the task was cancelled. This will be FALSE if the task was already completed, not running, etc.

Examples

cleanup <- hipercow_example_helper()
#> ℹ This example uses a special helper

ids <- c(task_create_expr(Sys.sleep(2)), task_create_expr(runif(1)))
#> ✔ Submitted task '3efba3c16fbedc440c56d5a7033dac7b' using 'example'
#> ✔ Submitted task 'c852ee1bf81e139d80a0082c7dc5e8ff' using 'example'

# The first task may or not be cancelled (depends on if it was
# started already) but the second one will almost certainly be
# cancelled:
task_cancel(ids)
#> ✔ Successfully cancelled 2 tasks
#> [1] TRUE TRUE

cleanup()
