Hi @kevinushey,

Some further findings from the pipeline I've got set up. I seem to be having problems with a number of packages that have been migrated from the packrat cache to the renv cache.

The migrate works fine in the it makes the correct lock file but then when it is trying to restore it seems to fail due to DLL's not found. From reading online this is usually due to a corrupt install and the suggestion is to delete and reinstall. Problem packages started at rlang but as I deleted those I had to delete Rcpp, processx, glue and so on.

My initial thought was were these compiled with a different version of R but that wouldn't be the case as our packrat pipeline set a version specific cache.

I wonder what the problem going on here is and if there is a more elegant solution. I.e. rather than saying DLL not found could it not try and reinstall it?

Wider would be good to understand whats going on here as i'm pretty sure other projects with these packages have worked. Potentially the linking isn't working as expected when installing from source?

Log file attached,

Regards,

Adam
