Another problem?

[Joseph Flanagan]

I'm not sure if something is wrong with me or there is a bug. Now, whenever I write

`packrat::status()`, I'm getting the following error: 

Error in yaml::yaml.load(yaml, handlers = knit_params_handlers(evaluate = evaluate)) : 

  Scanner error: while scanning a simple key at line 7, column 1could not find expected ':' at line 8, column 1

This also occurs if I try `packrat::snapshot()`, which is much more of a problem than not being about to get a status. 

This looks like a knitr error to me, but I'm really not sure what is causing it, since knitr is installed (and I am able to knit a document, both on the original machine and on others that only have the required packages in the packrat library.

This looks like it could be an error caused when packrat does
dependency discovery -- can you reproduce the error if you run:

packrat:::appDependencies()

within your project?

Perhaps you have an R Markdown file with a malformed YAML header?

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks, It was precisely a problem with a YAML header on an R Markdown file.
