thisfile-deprecated: Determines the path of the currently running script
Description
R does not store nor export the path of the currently running
script. This is an attempt to circumvent this limitation by applying
heuristics (such as call stack and argument inspection) that work in many
cases.
Usage
thisfile()
thisfile_source()
thisfile_r()
thisfile_rscript()
thisfile_knit()
Arguments
Value
The path of the currently running script, NULL if it cannot be
determined.
Details
This functions currently work only if the script was sourced,
processed with knitr,
or run with Rscript or using the --file parameter to the
R executable. For code run with Rscript, the exact value
of the parameter passed to Rscript is returned.
