I’m attempting an automated conversion from a python lesson to sandpaper.

To start, I will need to make sure I have the latest versions of the packages I need to build the site. I can do that with {sandpaper}, which will install

• {sandpaper} to build the site
• {varnish} for the styling
• {dovetail} for incorporating custom code blocks that translate to block quotes
• {pegboard} for manipulating the lessons

remotes::install_github("zkamvar/sandpaper", dep = TRUE, force = TRUE)

I will use the {usethis} package to bring in Programming With Python lesson and it will transport me to the downloaded folder.

usethis::create_from_github("swcarpentry/python-novice-inflammation", open = FALSE)

## ✔ Creating '/home/zhian/Desktop/python-novice-inflammation/'

## ✔ Cloning repo from 'git@github.com:swcarpentry/python-novice-inflammation.git' into '/home/zhian/Desktop/python-novice-inflammation'

## ✔ Setting active project to '/home/zhian/Desktop/python-novice-inflammation'

## ✔ Setting active project to '<no active project>'

Once I’m inside, I will use a script embedded in {dovetail} to convert the lesson:

withr::with_dir("~/Desktop/python-novice-inflammation", {
  script <- system.file("convert", "convert_python.R", package = "dovetail")
  source(script)
})

## Loading required namespace: remotes

## Using github PAT from envvar GITHUB_PAT

## Skipping install of 'pegboard' from a github remote, the SHA1 (bd33ff2b) has not changed since last install.
##   Use `force = TRUE` to force installation

## 1/7: Using the dovetail package

## 2/7: Using the sandpaper package (not converting python chunks to RMarkdown)

## 3/7: Converting block quotes to dovetail chunks

## 4/7: Moving questions from yaml to body

## 5/7: Moving objectives from yaml to body

## 6/7: Moving keypoints from yaml to body

## 7/7: Writing files to disk

## Done.

## 
## To keep these changes, add and commit them to git.
## To discard these changes, use
## 
##   git checkout -- _episodes_rmd/

Now I will use {sandpaper} to create a new site called “pynoin” (PYthon NOvice INflammation)

sandpaper::create_lesson("~/Desktop/pynoin", rstudio = TRUE, open = FALSE)

## ✔ Setting active project to '/home/zhian/Desktop/pynoin'

## ✔ Writing 'pynoin.Rproj'

## ✔ Adding '.Rproj.user' to '.gitignore'

## ✔ Setting active project to '<no active project>'

## [1] "~/Desktop/pynoin"

To complete the setup, I can copy over the episodes, data, code, and figures into the episodes/ directory. One of the catches is that all of the paths assume that the resources live at the top of the directory, so we will use sed to replace those paths.

src <- "~/Desktop/python-novice-inflammation/"
withr::with_dir("~/Desktop/pynoin", {
  # Copying the episodes
  fs::file_delete("episodes/01-introduction.Rmd")
  to_copy <- fs::dir_ls(fs::path(src, "_episodes"), glob = "*Rmd")
  purrr::walk(to_copy, ~fs::file_copy(.x, "episodes"))
  # copying the data, code, and figures
  fs::dir_copy(fs::path(src, "data"), "episodes")
  fs::dir_copy(fs::path(src, "code"), "episodes")
  fs::dir_copy(fs::path(src, "fig"), "episodes")
})

At this piont in time, I made a booboo where the default schedule was stuck with the initial example RMarkdown file instead of being blank, which meant to use the file names, but I will fix this soooon

withr::with_dir("~/Desktop/pynoin", {
  sched <- sandpaper::get_schedule()
  sandpaper::set_schedule(path = ".", order = sched)
  sandpaper::set_schedule(path = ".", order = sched, write = TRUE)
  gert::git_status()
  gert::git_add("episodes")
  gert::git_commit_all(message = "add episodes and schedule")
  gert::git_status()
})

## Warning in sandpaper::get_schedule(): No schedule set, using Rmd files in `episodes/` directory.
## To remove this warning, define your schedule in `config.yaml` or use `set_schedule()` to generate it.
