#TIL: An interesting project-oriented #package manager for R, inspired in #uv for #Python, supposed to be an alternative to #renv:

I found the docs for creating an #REnv profile a bit lacking, so I set up a demonstration showing how you can pre-set a project to use different profiles. Comments welcome.

#RStats

Coming to the unfortunate conclusion that even mid-term reproducibility in R requires fully Dockerizing everything. I have code from 2022, with renv, using the same R version, but cannot reconstruct the environment, because some packages' C code doesn't compile neither on my current setup or official Docker image for the given R version.... :-( #rstats #renv

In this house we upgrade our packages on a project basis #renv

Unfortunately, re-installing a whole renv library is incredibly slow. However, the renv.config.pak.enabled option speeds it up by a ridiculous margin by installing packages in parallel: https://rstudio.github.io/renv/reference/config.html#renv-config-pak-enabled

📦 I tried using the {renv} package to save my R environment, but no matter what I did, it wouldn't reinstall packages when running `install()` or `restore()`.

To help anyone else who might hit this issue, this fixed it:
#rstats #renv #tidyverse

Has anyone using #rstats with #vscode had luck getting the r debugger extension to work while using #renv ?

new release of #renv for #RStats includes:

"The new renv::checkout() makes it easy to use packages as if they’d all been installed at a specified date. For example, renv::checkout(date = "2023-02-08") will re-install all packages as they were on 2023-02-08 (using Posit Package Manager)...New projects will now use Posit Public Package Manager by default so that you’re more likely to get binaries." https://posit.co/blog/renv-1-0-0/
