Part 2. Workspace and Files. Task "setwd".
To change the working directory I typed
setwd("./testdir")
and the directory was changed by R. But swirl thought that it wasn't correct and expected just setwd("testdir") from me.
So I had to do
setwd("..")
setwd("testdir")
to finish this task.
Do you think you could possible write some explanation for this task?
Hi @rumyantseva,
I see what you mean. I'll make the appropriate changes to the lesson.
It's probable that the course author used the default test, `omnitest(correctExpr='setwd("testdir")', in an early draft and neglected to generalize it to something like
any_of_exprs('setwd("testdir"), 'setwd("./testdir")')
in a later draft.
Perhaps swirl should reset the current working directory in circumstances like this. I'll cross-post the issue to the swirl 3.0 thread
@WilCrofter I agree that's a good idea for swirl 3.0 and that this question should use any_of_exprs. Still, the Workspace and Files lesson should have some explanation about the meaning of . and .. so I'll work that in.

Right. Thanks, Sean. I'm dashing in and out of swirl at the moment, so my remarks may not be all that coherent =D.
Hi, I have the same issue - fedora 21, R 3.1.3, RStudio 0.98.1103
setwd("~/testdir") | Not quite, but you're learning! Try again. Or, type info() for more options. | Use setwd("testdir") to set your working directory to "testdir".
