try
that retries on failureThis is useful for functions that are "flaky", such as curl
, which may fail for unknown
reasons that do not persist.
retry(
expr,
envir = parent.frame(),
retries = 5,
exponentialDecayBase = 1.3,
silent = TRUE
)
Quoted expression to run, i.e., quote(...)
The environment in which to evaluate the quoted expression, default
to parent.frame(1)
Numeric. The maximum number of retries.
Numeric > 1.0. The delay between
successive retries will be runif(1, min = 0, max = exponentialDecayBase ^ i - 1)
where i
is the retry number (i.e., follows seq_len(retries)
)
Logical indicating whether to try
silently.
