sbpack-r is an R wrapper offering a functional interface for the Python package sbpack, which supports packing local or remote Common Workflow Language (CWL) apps and uploading them to Seven Bridges powered platforms.

Installation

Install sbpack-r from GitHub:

remotes::install_github("nanxstats/sbpack-r")

It depends on the Python package sbpack. Installed via pip:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/rabix/sbpack

Usage

reticulate::use_python("/usr/local/bin/python3")
library("sbpack")

"foo.cwl" %>% pack_to_file("bar.cwl")
"https://example.com/foo.cwl" %>% pack_to_file("bar.cwl")

"foo.cwl" %>% pack_to_sb("cgc", "user/project/app")
"https://example.com/foo.cwl" %>% pack_to_sb("cgc", "user/project/app")

Developers

If you have already installed Python and sbpack, and want to develop sbpack-r in RStudio, simply create a file .Rprofile under the package directory and set the Python binary path (Homebrew Python 3 path example below):

Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON = "/usr/local/bin/python3")

The next time you open the project, the correct Python path and library path should be already set. For more technical details, see reticulate Python version configuration.
