Serializes a computational pipeline object list to an RDS file along with
metadata, and reloads it while ensuring all node and file modification times
(`mtime`) are accurately refreshed from disk. This replaces static, unmanaged
pipeline dumps that become stale over time.
Usage
save_pipeline(pipeline, file = "pipeline.rds")
load_pipeline(file = "pipeline.rds", update_mtime = TRUE)
Arguments
- pipeline
A list of pipeline objects ([FilePath], [FileOutputs], [FileUses]).
- file
Path to the `.rds` file to save to or read from.
- update_mtime
Logical. When loading, should the `@mtime` slots of all
contained files be re-read from disk? Defaults to `TRUE`.
Value
`save_pipeline` returns `file` invisibly on success.
`load_pipeline` returns the list of pipeline objects with refreshed timestamps.
