Inform RStudio's Jobs pane that a job has been added.
jobAdd(name, status = "", progressUnits = 0L, actions = NULL,
running = FALSE, autoRemove = TRUE, show = TRUE)
The job's name.
The initial status text for the job; optional.
The integer number of units of work in the job; for example, 100L
if the job's progress is expressed in percentages. Use 0L
if the number of units of
work is unknown.
A list of actions that can be performed on the job (see Actions).
Whether the job is currently running.
Whether to remove the job from the Jobs pane when it's complete.
Whether to show the job in the Jobs pane.
An ID representing the newly added job, used as a handle to provide further updates of the job's status.
The actions
parameter is a named list of functions that the user can invoke on the job;
for example: actions = list(stop = function(id) { ... })
. The function will be passed a
parameter named id
with the job ID that invoked it.
There are two special action names:
If there is an action named stop
, then the job will
have a Stop button in in the Jobs pane, and pressing that button will invoke
the stop
action.
If there is an action named info
, then the job will
have an informational link in the Jobs pane rather than an output
display, and clicking the link will invoke the info
action.
