rebuild: Rebuild the packages in your project library

In rstudio/renv: Project Environments

Rebuild the packages in your project library

Description

Rebuild and reinstall packages in your library. This can be useful as a diagnostic tool – for example, if you find that one or more of your packages fail to load, and you want to ensure that you are starting from a clean slate.

Usage

rebuild(
  packages = NULL,
  recursive = TRUE,
  ...,
  type = NULL,
  prompt = interactive(),
  library = NULL,
  project = NULL
)

Arguments

packages	The package(s) to be rebuilt. When NULL, all packages in the library will be reinstalled.
recursive	Boolean; should dependencies of packages be rebuilt recursively? Defaults to TRUE.
...	Unused arguments, reserved for future expansion. If any arguments are matched to ..., renv will signal an error.
type	The type of package to install ("source" or "binary"). Defaults to the value of getOption("pkgType").
prompt	Boolean; prompt the user before taking any action? For backwards compatibility, confirm is accepted as an alias for prompt.
library	The R library to be used. When NULL, the active project library will be used instead.
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.

Value

A named list of package records which were installed by renv.

Examples

## Not run: 

# rebuild the 'dplyr' package + all of its dependencies
renv::rebuild("dplyr", recursive = TRUE)

# rebuild only 'dplyr'
renv::rebuild("dplyr", recursive = FALSE)


## End(Not run)
