Scaffold support for R files

Hello! Running ploomber scaffold with a pipeline.yaml containing .R or .Rmd files returns this error, “This command does not support adding tasks with extension “.R”, valid ones are .py and .sql.”

Is scaffold able to create a pipeline with R files?

Thank you, Jae

Hi @jaesmin!

Unfortunately, ploomber scaffold does not work with .R/.Rmd files yet, but thanks for reporting this, we’ll add it to the roadmap for the next release 😊

In the meantime, you can use our R example to get started quickly: https://github.com/ploomber/projects/tree/master/templates/spec-api-r

If you have ploomber installed, you can get the example executing:

ploomber examples -n templates/spec-api-r -o r-example

Then move to the r-example folder and execute:

ploomber build

Note that for R to work with Ploomber, you need to install and configure IRKernel, check out the instructions here: https://docs.ploomber.io/en/latest/user-guide/r-support.html#configuring-r-environment

Let me know if you’re able to run the R example, if you have further questions, you can join our Slack community: https://ploomber.io/community

Thanks for your feedback!
