here incorrect working directory using cronr package

[HugoGit39]

Hi

When you use here() it starts in the wrong working directory when a RECURRING cronjob is set using the cronr package. With a ONCE executed cronjob it does work somehow

Example:

My working dir is /home/rstudio/R/r-projects. I have set this in Global options. Moreover I have set in the .Rprofile this wd as starting dir for the cronjob. via CRON_LIVE

However when the cronjob starts here states:

here() starts at /home/rstudio

This is the old, initial wd

The solution is that I had to set the wd in the command line and than lib:

setwd("/home/rstudio/R/r-projects")
library(here)

However this shouldnt be the case officially. I dont know if this is an here or cronr issue btw. But a solution would be great!

I'm not familiar with the cronr package, but cronjobs have a very specific notion of the environment (working directory, environment variables, ...) they are executed in. The initial working directory of the R process is what drives the behavior of the here package.

@bnosac: Can you help?
