Run R scripts with Pushbullet Alerts

## Installation

``` r

remotes::install_github("noamross/pbjob")

```

## Setup

To use this package you need to use [Pushbullet](https://www.pushbullet.com/) on

your mobile device or browser and to set up the

[**RPushbullet**](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rpushbullet) package. Details

in that package README, but in short, do this just once:

- Sign up for Pushbullet and install it on your devices/browsers if you haven't

  already.

- Log in to , click on "Create Access

  Token", and get the token.

- Run `RPushbullet::pbSetup()` to create a config file and

  select your default devices to send messages to.

- Restart R

##  Functions

The package has six functions, each of which has an accompanying RStudio Add-In

- `source_and_pb(script_path)` runs a script and sends a Pushbullet alert when

  it is complete.  An alert is also sent if the script errors. If `script_path`

  is `NULL`, the RStudio interface is used to select a file.

- `bg_and_pb()` runs the script in a background session with the same alerts.

  It returns an [`r_process`](https://callr.r-lib.org/reference/r_bg.html) object.

- `job_and_pb()` runs the script as an RStudio Job with the same alerts. Note

   that the progress bar will not display anything.

- `source_current_and_pb()`, `bg_current_and_pb()` and `job_current_and_pb()` do

   the same but run the current active file in the RStudio editor. They're

   especially handy if you [assign the Add-Ins keyboard shortcuts](https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/206382178-Customizing-Keyboard-Shortcuts).

   

Note that background sessions are child processes of the R session in which they

are launched, and will be killed is if you quit or restart R.
