rxp_make: Build Pipeline Using Nix

In rixpress: Build Reproducible Analytical Pipelines with 'Nix'

Build Pipeline Using Nix

Description

Runs nix-build with a quiet flag, outputting to ⁠_rixpress/result⁠.

Usage

rxp_make(verbose = 0L, max_jobs = 1, cores = 1)

Arguments

verbose	Integer, defaults to 0L. Verbosity level: 0 = show progress indicators only, 1+ = show nix output with increasing verbosity. 0: "Progress only", 1: "Informational", 2: "Talkative", 3: "Chatty", 4: "Debug", 5: "Vomit". Values higher than 5 are capped to 5. Each level adds one –verbose flag to nix-store command.
max_jobs	Integer, number of derivations to be built in parallel.
cores	Integer, number of cores a derivation can use during build.

Details

When the {chronicler} package is available, rxp_make() automatically calls rxp_check_chronicles() after a successful build to check for Nothing values in chronicle objects. This helps detect silent failures in pipelines that use chronicler's record() decorated functions. See vignette("chronicler") for more details.

Value

A character vector of paths to the built outputs.
