Calling from a Web Worker

[gungorbudak]

Hi!

I'm using web workers for multi-threaded way of analyzing my data on the browser and I need to do some statistical tests with calls using OpenCPU. However, my first attempts to import it to a web worker didn't work. Since, there is no window or document object in a web worker, I tried to set them to self but jQuery complains about the document object.

// worker.js
var window = self,
    document = self;
importScripts('libs/jquery-1.11.3.js', 'libs/opencpu-0.4.js');
ocpu.seturl("//public.opencpu.org/ocpu/library/base/R");

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'createElement' of undefined jquery-1.11.3.js:930

Seeing that there are no JS libraries with such tests as in R, I think OpenCPU is the only way to do statistical computation on a browser.

This is actually a jQuery error but I just wanted to bring it to your attention. Any help about calling R code from the worker threads will be appreciated.

Thanks
