  • studyMeta: StudyMeta object containing metadata (read/write)

  • gitRemote: Optional git remote URL (read/write)

  • renvLockFile: Optional path to renv lock file (read/write)

Methods

  • initialize(): Create and configure a new UlyssesStudy instance

  • initUlyssesRepo(): Initialize the full repository structure

  gitRemote = NULL,
  renvLockFile = NULL
)

Arguments

repoName

Character string. Name of the study repository.

repoFolder

Character string. Parent directory where the repository will be created.

toolType

Character string. Tool type, either "dbms" or "external".

studyMeta

StudyMeta object. Contains study metadata and configuration.

execOptions

ExecOptions object. Contains execution settings and options.

gitRemote

Character string. Optional URL for git remote repository.

Method initUlyssesRepo()

Initialize the complete Ulysses repository structure and configuration.

This method performs the following initialization steps:

  1. Creates the R project directory and Rproj file

  2. Establishes the standard directory structure

  3. Creates initialization files (README, NEWS, configuration files)

  4. Sets up Quarto documentation

  5. Creates main execution file

  6. Initializes agent skills configuration

  7. Initializes git repository

Usage

UlyssesStudy$initUlyssesRepo(verbose = TRUE, openProject = FALSE)

Arguments

verbose

Logical. If TRUE (default), displays informative messages during initialization.

openProject

Logical. If TRUE, opens the project in a new RStudio session after initialization.

Returns

Invisibly returns the path to the initialized repository.

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

UlyssesStudy$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
