mergeCache: Merge two cache repositories together

In reproducible: Enhance Reproducibility of R Code

Merge two cache repositories together

Description

Usage

mergeCache(
  cacheTo,
  cacheFrom,
  drvTo = getDrv(getOption("reproducible.drv", NULL)),
  drvFrom = getDrv(getOption("reproducible.drv", NULL)),
  connTo = NULL,
  connFrom = NULL,
  verbose = getOption("reproducible.verbose")
)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY'
mergeCache(
  cacheTo,
  cacheFrom,
  drvTo = getDrv(getOption("reproducible.drv", NULL)),
  drvFrom = getDrv(getOption("reproducible.drv", NULL)),
  connTo = NULL,
  connFrom = NULL,
  verbose = getOption("reproducible.verbose")
)

Arguments

cacheTo	The cache repository (character string of the file path) that will become larger, i.e., merge into this
cacheFrom	The cache repository (character string of the file path) from which all objects will be taken and copied from
drvTo	The database driver for the cacheTo.
drvFrom	The database driver for the cacheFrom
connTo	The connection for the cacheTo. If not provided, then a new one will be made from drvTo and cacheTo
connFrom	The database for the cacheFrom. If not provided, then a new one will be made from drvFrom and cacheFrom
verbose	Numeric, -1 silent (where possible), 0 being very quiet, 1 showing more messaging, 2 being more messaging, etc. Default is 1. Above 3 will output much more information about the internals of Caching, which may help diagnose Caching challenges. Can set globally with an option, e.g., ⁠options('reproducible.verbose' = 0) to reduce to minimal⁠

Details

All the cacheFrom artifacts will be put into cacheTo repository. All userTags will be copied verbatim, including accessed, with 1 exception: date will be the current Sys.time() at the time of merging. The createdDate column will be similarly the current time of merging.

Value

The character string of the path of cacheTo, i.e., not the objects themselves.
