add customizable responses's time for prompts

[capitantyler]

It would be possible add customizable response's time for possible Rstudio form's prompts?
I am looking at the code and this time was set in 10 secs, which is too short to fill them.

I have been having problems running jobs from RStudio if it has Rstudio prompts inside.

Can you please give an example? AFAIK RStudio shouldn't be timing out in any of the prompts exposed to rstudioapi.

The mentioned code is in the remote.R line 65

# check for response
  if (file.exists(responseFile))
    break

  # check for lack of response
  diff <- difftime(Sys.time(), now, units = "secs")
  if (diff > 10)
    stop("RStudio did not respond to rstudioapi IPC request")

  # wait a bit
  Sys.sleep(0.1)

}

Ahh, thanks -- so this is specifically for the case where rstudioapi is being invoked remotely; that is, from within an R child process. We can take a look at that.

Well, I called it from a R Job, Besides, I filled the prompt manually.

I created a pull request to solve this, but am a bit surprised it was not autolinked here:

Sorry about the force pushes to my fork; I didn't realize they were being linked here before I finalized my pull request. Please focus on the latest one (f2cc66e), and I'll make no more force pushes.
