Set search options for interactive use — orderly_interactive_set_search

Set search options for interactive use of orderly; see orderly_dependency() and orderly_run() for details. This applies only for the current session, but applies to all interactive uses of orderly functions that might have received a copy of the search options (location, allow_remote and fetch_metadata) via orderly_run(). Calling with no arguments resets to the defaults.

Usage

orderly_interactive_set_search_options(
  location = NULL,
  allow_remote = NULL,
  fetch_metadata = FALSE
)

Arguments

location: Optional vector of locations to pull from. We might in future expand this to allow wildcards or exceptions.
allow_remote: Logical, indicating if we should allow packets to be found that are not currently unpacked (i.e., are known only to a location that we have metadata from). If this is TRUE, then in conjunction with orderly_dependency() you might pull a large quantity of data. The default is NULL. This is TRUE if remote locations are listed explicitly as a character vector in the location argument, or if you have specified fetch_metadata = TRUE, otherwise FALSE.
fetch_metadata: Logical, indicating if we should pull metadata immediately before the search. If location is given, then we will pass this through to orderly_location_fetch_metadata() to filter locations to update. If pulling many packets in sequence, you will want to update this option to FALSE after the first pull, otherwise it will update the metadata between every packet, which will be needlessly slow.

Value

Nothing, called for its side effects

Examples

# enable fetching packets from remote locations in this session
orderly_interactive_set_search_options(allow_remote = TRUE)
# ... your interactive session
# reset to defaults
orderly_interactive_set_search_options()
