repair {renv}

Repair a project

Description

Use repair() to recover from some common issues that can occur with a project. Currently, two operations are performed:

Usage

repair(library = NULL, lockfile = NULL, project = NULL)

Arguments

library

The R library to be used. When NULL, the active project library will be used instead.

lockfile

The path to a lockfile (if any). When available, renv will use the lockfile when attempting to infer the remote associated with the inaccessible version of each missing package. When NULL (the default), the project lockfile will be used.

project

The project directory. If NULL, then the active project will be used. If no project is currently active, then the current working directory is used instead.

Details

1. Packages with broken symlinks into the cache will be re-installed.

2. Packages that were installed from sources, but appear to be from an remote source (e.g. GitHub), will have their DESCRIPTION files updated to record that remote source explicitly.
