isolate: Isolate a project

In renv: Project Environments

Isolate a project

Description

Copy packages from the renv cache directly into the project library, so that the project can continue to function independently of the renv cache.

Usage

isolate(project = NULL)

Arguments

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

After calling isolate(), renv will still be able to use the cache on future install()s and restore()s. If you'd prefer that renv copy packages from the cache, rather than use symlinks, you can set the renv configuration option:

options(renv.config.cache.symlinks = FALSE)

to force renv to copy packages from the cache, as opposed to symlinking them. If you'd like to disable the cache altogether for a project, you can use:

settings$use.cache(FALSE)

to explicitly disable the cache for the project.

Value

The project directory, invisibly. Note that this function is normally called for its side effects.

Examples

## Not run: 

# isolate a project
renv::isolate()


## End(Not run)
