I am in 1.0 on OS X. I don't feel up to installing the dev version from the SVN right now. Maybe later when I have more time.
I did figure out a workaround in R that doesn't involve saving the workspace... I can pass a list of dataframes. It's not ideal, since I have to know the name of the list elements I care about and check for them manually in the next Rexpression actor, but I think it will work for me as a stopgap as it is pretty flexible and seems to work reliably. Thanks for confirming the bug for me.

I tested this with a simple workflow here, and it seems to be a bug in 1.0, but not in the current development version of Kepler in SVN. (I got two copies of the same dataframe in my second Rexpression actor). Saving the workspace between Rexpression actors is one solution, but -- save is a feature we try very hard to avoid using since it subverts Kepler -- tokens aren't flowing along relations when it's used, and can lead to confusion in later Rexpression actors where it's unclear what variables are available. However you might use this as a stopgap until we release 2.0, or if you're comfortable with checking out and building Kepler from SVN, and willing to deal with things frequently breaking and changing as we work towards 2.0, you could try the development version of Kepler, the instructions for which are here: https://kepler-project.org/developers/teams/build/documentation/build-system-instructions Derik On Nov 12, 2009, at 11:19 PM, Scott Porter wrote: > > I have a workflow where everything works.
