Run the dev/run_dev.R file — run

The default file="dev/run_dev.R" launches your {golem} app with a bunch of useful options. The file content can be customized and file-name and path changed as long as the argument combination of file and pkg are supplied correctly: the file-path is a relative path to a {golem}-package root pkg. An error is thrown if pkg/file cannot be found.

Usage

run_dev(
  file = "dev/run_dev.R",
  golem_wd = get_golem_wd(),
  save_all = TRUE,
  install_required_packages = TRUE,
  pkg
)

Arguments

file: String with (relative) file path to a run_dev.R-file
golem_wd: Path to the root of the package. Default is get_golem_wd().
save_all: Boolean; if TRUE saves all open files before sourcing file
install_required_packages: Boolean; if TRUE install the packages used in run_dev.R-file
pkg: Deprecated, please use golem_wd instead

Value

pure side-effect function; returns invisibly

Details
