Find Project Root Directory — find

Finds the root directory of the current R project using various heuristics. The function searches for markers like _resultcheck.yml (preferred), resultcheck.yml (legacy), .Rproj files, or a .git directory. When running inside a sandbox created by setup_sandbox(), it will search from the original working directory.

Usage

find_root(start_path = NULL)

Arguments

start_path: Optional. The directory to start searching from. If NULL (default), uses the current working directory or the stored original working directory if in a sandbox.

Value

The path to the project root directory.

Examples

with_example({
  root <- find_root()
  print(root)
})
#> [1] "/tmp/RtmpGfNOM5/resultcheck-example-19cc3ce21a1d"
