Packrat 0.4.8-52?

[Damir Bučar]

I am attempting to deploy an application to RStudio Connect platform.

R versions on both RStudio Server (publishing from) and RStudio Connect (publishing to) servers are 3.2.3.

I am getting the error below [1].

What I am wondering is: where is this version even available from?

The user has installed it into his private library directly a few months ago (seems it's been installed from source from below messages).

Now the latest CRAN version seems to be 0.4.8-1 --> so I have many question marks around my head. :)

Any ideas on this, and how to resolve it?

Kind regards,

Damir

Sounds like this user may have downloaded and installed a development version of Packrat from GitHub:

https://github.com/rstudio/packrat

However, in order for Packrat to understand how to restore a package downloaded from GitHub, it must be downloaded and installed with e.g.

devtools::install_github("rstudio/packrat")

If the user had (for example) downloaded the package sources manually and installed it that way, that could explain the deployment error you're seeing.

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanks Kevin.

It actually turns out that this specific packrat version is being installed automatically during installation of RStudio Connect (into /opt/rstudio-connect/ext/R/).

I will reach out to RStudio support team to get further details on that.

But it turns out that was not the real issue while deploying - need to dig deeper.
