Rstudio: pass arguments to job works

[Iuiu1234]

Jobs panel allows you to choose script & working directory.
But there's no option to define which arguments you pass to the script.

Is this is a bug?
Or is it supposed to work this way?

Rstudio 1.2.1289

thanks

This is the current design. Marking this as an enhancement request.

Currently to pass information into a job you must set it in the global environment and use the "Run job with copy of global environment" option.

Yes, we haven't made these parameterizable yet. We're tracking that in this feature request (feel free to comment/upvote!)

If you're looking for a more scriptable way to invoke asynchronous R jobs with parameters, try callr: https://github.com/r-lib/callr

One way to have parameters is to put them in a list, use saveRDS to save them in a file, and then use readRDS at the start of the script to retrieve them.
