Run Code in a Sandbox Environment — run_in

Executes an R script within a sandbox directory, suppressing messages, warnings, and graphical output. This is useful for testing empirical analysis scripts without polluting the console or creating unwanted plots.

  script_path,
  sandbox = NULL,
  suppress_messages = TRUE,
  suppress_warnings = TRUE,
  capture_output = TRUE
)

Arguments

script_path: Path to the R script to execute.
sandbox: Optional. A sandbox object created by setup_sandbox(). If NULL (default), uses the most recently created sandbox.
suppress_messages: Logical. Whether to suppress messages (default: TRUE).
suppress_warnings: Logical. Whether to suppress warnings (default: TRUE).
capture_output: Logical. Whether to capture output (default: TRUE).

Value

Invisible NULL. The function is called for its side effects.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Setup sandbox
sandbox <- setup_sandbox(c("data/mydata.rds", "code/analysis.R"))

# Run script in sandbox
run_in_sandbox("code/analysis.R", sandbox)

# Clean up
cleanup_sandbox(sandbox)
} # }
