Expected Behavior

.feather files in the data/ directory are loaded in memory.

Current Behavior

.feather files are ignored.

Possible Solution

feather.reader <- function(data.file, filename, variable.name) {
    assign(variable.name, feather::read_feather(filename), envir = .TargetEnv)
}

@Hugovdberg , any reason why we don't want to read feather files from cache/, or is it that conceptually, the "reader" functionality is being defined for the data/ folder?

This is just setting on the feather reader. The cache feature is still being developed!

Got it, thanks!
