Retrieve a file path from an envsetup object containing paths

Paths will be filtered to produce the lowest available level from a hierarchy of paths based on envsetup_environ

Usage

write_path(
  lib,
  filename = NULL,
  envsetup_environ = Sys.getenv("ENVSETUP_ENVIRON")
)

Arguments

lib: Object containing the paths for all environments of a directory
filename: Name of the file you would like to write
envsetup_environ: Name of the environment to which you would like to write. Defaults to the ENVSETUP_ENVIRON environment variable

Value

path to write

Examples

tmpdir <- tempdir()

# account for windows
if (Sys.info()['sysname'] == "Windows") {
  tmpdir <- gsub("\\", "\\\\", tmpdir, fixed = TRUE)
}

# add config for just the data location
hierarchy <- paste0("default:
  paths:
    data: !expr list(
      DEV = file.path('",tmpdir,"', 'demo', 'DEV', 'username', 'project1', 'data'),
      PROD = file.path('",tmpdir,"', 'demo', 'PROD', 'project1', 'data'))")

# write config file to temp directory
writeLines(hierarchy, file.path(tmpdir, "hierarchy.yml"))

config <- config::get(file = file.path(tmpdir, "hierarchy.yml"))

# build folder structure from config
