I am just trying to get the project template starting thing to work but I am unable to get it to work.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Followed the tutorial up to Load my project

library('ProjectTemplate') create.project('letters') getwd() [1] "C:/Users/RASAAVED/Documents/test"

setwd('~/letters/data/') Error in setwd("~/letters/data/") : cannot change working directory setwd('~/letters/') Error in setwd("~/letters/") : cannot change working directory setwd('/letters/') Error in setwd("/letters/") : cannot change working directory setwd("~/test/letters/data") load.project() Loading project configuration Autoloading cache Autoloading data Munging data Warning messages: 1: In .load.config(override.config) : You are missing a configuration file: config/global.dcf .

Possible Solution

[Hugovdberg]

You shouldn't call load.project from within the data directory. Try setwd('~/letters') without the trailing slash, it's the only thing I can imagine why you couldn't change the directory (you didn't add the slash after data). If you really can't change the working directory to the root directory of the project then I cannot imagine it's a ProjectTemplate error but rather an Rstudio or Azure error.
