Dear useRs, I believe this is R code so appropriate for this list, but let me know if this relates more to RStudio itself.
I am working on an RStudio project. In that project directory, I have a folder called 'analysis' and in there a folder called 'scripts' ('~/analysis/scripts'). My data files needed for the scripts are in '~/analysis/raw_data' and the output should be in '~/analysis/derived_data'. My scripts are Rmd files, so when I knit them, their working directory is where they are located, i.e. '~/analysis/scripts'. The problem I then have is to specify the path for 'raw_data' and 'derived_data' since during the rendering I am not relative to the project directory anymore. And these folders are not subfolders of the working directory '~/analysis/scripts'. I hope I am clear here... I would like to avoid absolute paths of course, but I do not know how to proceed. What would be nice is a way to get the project directory in the scripts, rather than their working directory. Does that make sense?
