box (version 1.0.0)

set_script_path: Set the base path of the script

Description

Set the base path of the script

Usage

set_script_path(path)

Arguments

path

character string containing the relative or absolute path to the currently executing R code file, or NULL to reset the path.

Value

box::set_script_path returns the previously set script path, or NULL if none was explicitly set.

Details

box needs to know the base path of the topmost calling R context (i.e. the script) to find relative import locations. In most cases, box can figure the path out automatically. However, in some cases third-party packages load code in a way in which box cannot find the correct path of the script any more. set_script_path can be used in these cases to set the path of the currently executing R script manually.
