cronR in Positron #8019

Is there a cronR extension within Positron? Or something similar where we can schedule our R scripts within Positron? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

You can use the cronR package as usual in Positron to schedule scripts. In other words this should work fine: cron_add(cmd, frequency = 'minutely', id = 'job1', description = 'Customers')However, cronR's RStudio add-in that adds a dialog you can use to create schedules won't work in Positron. Currently Positron only supports limited RStudio API features and doesn't support RStudio add-ins. Positron supports the VS Code extension API and also has a full API for working with R and Python sessions, so it would be possible for someone to build a job scheduling UI for cronR in Positron! |

Thanks! Great to see cronR package still works, but was looking for the add-in as you mentioned. I'll work with the cronR package for now. |
