  Aborted setting keyring password
Calls: %>% ... b_file_keyring_unlock -> <Anonymous> -> b__file_set_keyring_pass
Execution halted

I want to execute this script in CRON so I can not manualy enter keyring password every time. Could You help me?

Answer 1

I gave this error because keyring which I want to use was locked.

If I want to use keyring I need unlock it by using function keyring_unlock() from keyring package.

keyring_unlock(password= "your keyring password")

In this configuration you will unlock default keyring.
