autoload {renv}

Auto-load the active project

Description

Automatically load the renv project associated with a particular directory. renv will search parent directories for the renv project root; if found, that project will be loaded via load().

Usage

autoload()

Details

To enable the renv auto-loader, you can place:

renv::autoload()

into your site-wide or user .Rprofile to ensure that renv projects are automatically loaded for any newly-launched R sessions, even if those R sessions are launched within the sub-directory of an renv project.

If you'd like to launch R within the sub-directory of an renv project without auto-loading renv, you can set the environment variable:

RENV_AUTOLOAD_ENABLED = FALSE

before starting R.

Note that renv::autoload() is only compatible with projects using ⁠renv 0.15.3⁠ or newer, as it relies on features within the renv/activate.R script that are only generated with newer versions of renv.
