Source: R/warn_if_dropbox.R
warn_if_dropbox.Rd

This helper function issues a warning if the supplied file or directory path appears to be located inside a Dropbox-synced folder. Running BEAST2 from Dropbox-backed locations may cause file-locking issues while files are being written.

Usage

warn_if_dropbox(path = getwd())

Arguments

path

A character string representing a file or directory path. Defaults to the current working directory.

Value

Invisibly returns the input path.

Details

The function is intended as a non-blocking safeguard and does not prevent execution.

Examples

warn_if_dropbox("~/Dropbox/myproject")
#> Warning: It looks like you are running babette with files in a Dropbox folder. This may cause file-locking issues (see issue #65: https://github.com/ropensci/babette/issues/65). Consider moving your project to a non-Dropbox folder.
