Push tree to location

Push tree to location. This function works out what packets are not known at the location and then what files are required to create them. It then pushes all the files required to build all packets and then pushes the missing metadata to the server. If the process is interrupted it is safe to resume and will only transfer files and packets that were missed on a previous call.

Usage

orderly_location_push(
  expr,
  location,
  name = NULL,
  dry_run = FALSE,
  root = NULL
)

Arguments

expr

An expression to search for. Often this will be a vector of ids, but you can use a query here.

location

The name of a location to push to (see orderly_location_list for possible values).

name

Optionally, the name of the packet to scope the query on. This will be intersected with scope arg and is a shorthand way of running scope = list(name = "name")

dry_run

Logical, indicating if we should print a summary but not make any changes.

root

The path to the root directory, or NULL (the default) to search for one from the current working directory. This function does not require that the directory is configured for orderly, and can be any outpack root (see orderly_init for details).

Value

Invisibly, details on the information that was actually moved (which might be more or less than what was requested, depending on the dependencies of packets and what was already known on the other location).
