Initialize parade path configuration — paths

Sets up standard directory paths for parade projects, automatically detecting HPC environments and configuring appropriate scratch and data directories.

Usage

paths_init(profile = c("auto", "local", "hpc"), create = FALSE, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

profile: Path profile: "auto" (default), "local", or "hpc"
create: Whether to create missing directories for configured roots (never creates project)
quiet: Whether to suppress initialization messages

Value

Named list of configured paths (invisibly)

Details

profile = "auto" switches to "hpc" when scheduler environment variables are detected (e.g., SLURM/PBS) or when common scratch variables (SCRATCH, WORK, etc.) are set. On some login nodes, scheduler variables may be absent; in that case, you can also use paths_init(profile = "hpc") explicitly.

You can override defaults with environment variables such as PARADE_SCRATCH, PARADE_ARTIFACTS, PARADE_REGISTRY, and PARADE_DATA. Empty values are treated as unset.

Examples

paths_init(profile = "local")
#> parade paths: project=/home/runner/work/parade/parade/docs/reference; scratch=/tmp/RtmpfrGA9U; data=/home/runner/work/parade/parade/docs/reference/data; artifacts=/tmp/RtmpfrGA9U/parade-artifacts; registry=/tmp/RtmpfrGA9U/parade-registry; config=/home/runner/work/parade/parade/docs/reference/.parade; cache=/home/runner/.cache/R/parade
paths_init(quiet = TRUE)
