tar_prune_list

R Documentation

List targets that `tar_prune()` will remove.

Description

List the targets that tar_prune() will remove. Does not actually remove any targets.

Usage

tar_prune_list(
  callr_function = callr::r,
  callr_arguments = targets::tar_callr_args_default(callr_function),
  envir = parent.frame(),
  script = targets::tar_config_get("script"),
  store = targets::tar_config_get("store")
)

Arguments

`callr_function`	A function from `callr` to start a fresh clean R process to do the work. Set to `NULL` to run in the current session instead of an external process (but restart your R session just before you do in order to clear debris out of the global environment). `callr_function` needs to be `NULL` for interactive debugging, e.g. `tar_option_set(debug = "your_target")`. However, `callr_function` should not be `NULL` for serious reproducible work.
`callr_arguments`	A list of arguments to `callr_function`.
`envir`	An environment, where to run the target R script (default: `⁠_targets.R⁠`) if `callr_function` is `NULL`. Ignored if `callr_function` is anything other than `NULL`. `callr_function` should only be `NULL` for debugging and testing purposes, not for serious runs of a pipeline, etc. The `envir` argument of `tar_make()` and related functions always overrides the current value of `tar_option_get("envir")` in the current R session just before running the target script file, so whenever you need to set an alternative `envir`, you should always set it with `tar_option_set()` from within the target script file. In other words, if you call `tar_option_set(envir = envir1)` in an interactive session and then `tar_make(envir = envir2, callr_function = NULL)`, then `envir2` will be used.
`script`	Character of length 1, path to the target script file. Defaults to `tar_config_get("script")`, which in turn defaults to `⁠_targets.R⁠`. When you set this argument, the value of `tar_config_get("script")` is temporarily changed for the current function call. See `tar_script()`, `tar_config_get()`, and `tar_config_set()` for details about the target script file and how to set it persistently for a project.
`store`	Character of length 1, path to the `targets` data store. Defaults to `tar_config_get("store")`, which in turn defaults to `⁠_targets/⁠`. When you set this argument, the value of `tar_config_get("store")` is temporarily changed for the current function call. See `tar_config_get()` and `tar_config_set()` for details about how to set the data store path persistently for a project.

Details

See tar_prune() for details.

Value

If callr_function is callr::r_bg, the return value is a handle to the callr background process is returned. Otherwise, the return value is a character vector of target names identifying targets that tar_prune() will remove.

Examples

if (identical(Sys.getenv("TAR_EXAMPLES"), "true")) { # for CRAN
tar_dir({ # tar_dir() runs code from a temp dir for CRAN.
tar_script({
  library(targets)
  library(tarchetypes)
  list(
    tar_target(y1, 1 + 1),
    tar_target(y2, 1 + 1),
    tar_target(z, y1 + y2)
  )
}, ask = FALSE)
tar_make()
# Remove some targets from the pipeline.
tar_script(list(tar_target(y1, 1 + 1)), ask = FALSE)
# List targets that tar_prune() will remove.
tar_prune_list()
})
