Get job state / post-job hook

[noamross]

Currently, one can set job states, status, etc., with function luke rstudioapi::setJobState(). However, one can not retrieve them as far as I can tell. I would like a getJob() or getJobs() function akin to those functions for launcher jobs.

It seems this is available with hidden IDE function .rs.invokeRpc("get_jobs").

My use-case is writing some wrappers to alert me to the status of jobs running on my server (with RPushbullet).

It would also be helpful to have a post-job hook akin to stop or info in jobAdd() that could define a function (taking the script name and results environment as an argument) to run after a job defined with jobAdd() or jobRunScript().

I would also like this feature.
My usecase is starting a Net of jobs, some of which wait for other jobs to complete and generate some artifacts (RDS) upon which the downstream jobs depend.

after almost five years has this still not been added?

Sorry for the wait -- this is now available in the latest daily builds of RStudio + the development versions of rstudioapi.
