Renv notes:

renv.md

Set up library

1. renv::init(bare = TRUE)

2. renv::deactivate()

3. renv::install(renv::dependencies("./packages.R")$Package)

Errors on GitHub only packages.

renv::hydrate(renv::dependencies("./packages.R")$Package,
                library = "./renv/library/R-3.6/x86_64-w64-mingw32/")

Why is path so long?

It would be cool if hydrate had the option to append to a library, rather than overwrite?

ISSUE: If you accidently call hydrate without library it copies from user library to system library (undesirable)?

BUG: renv::hydrate() alters .libpPaths() removing user library.

Need to restart session after this due to bug atm.

Run my project

  withr::with_libpaths(new = c(fs::path_abs("./renv/library/R-3.6/x86_64-w64-mingw32/"),
                                "c:/R/R-3.6.0/library"), 
                        code = drake::r_make())

Snapshot my library

5. renv::snapshot() failed with:

Error in renv_renvignore_pattern(path, root) : reached elapsed time limit
Traceback (most recent calls first):

5. renv::snapshot(type = "simple", library = fs::path_abs("./renv/library/R-3.6/x86_64-w64-mingw32/"))

Works okay!

Restore my library
