Release gem?
Hi @clbustos and @fenrir-naru! First of all thanks for having developed this project. It seems to be the best approach to using R in Ruby at the moment. We're looking to add R Markdown support to gollum. This would turn gollum into a great open source tool for git-based reproducible reports. Being an open source maintainer myself, I fully understand how time consuming it can be. However, I'd like to ask if you could take the time to cut a new gem release of the current master branch at least, which seems to include some important bugfixes -- and preferably merge some of the improvements by @fenrir-naru (see e.g. https://github.com/clbustos/rinruby/issues/52).
Alternatively, if there are reasons why you think it would not be viable to keep using this gem, could you please let us know? Any tips about what a viable way would be to integrate R in a Ruby project in 2020 would be greatly appreciated!
Hi @demetto, have you been using this gem? If not, do you have any suggestions on the best way to integrate R in a Ruby project?
Hi @tom-brown! I didn't find any good ways of integrating R in Ruby on a language basis. However, me and @bartkamphorst are working on https://github.com/repotag/rmarkdownserve. Although that's specifically geared towards rendering RMarkdown by calling littler (and not e.g. making R variables available in Ruby), it may be of interest to you. Any help and feedback is welcome!
Workaround: update your Gemfile to use the latest code:
gem "rinruby", github: "clbustos/rinruby", ref: "fa04e5fd5048445b0aa49786b6cba41724251673"
