Expected Behavior

Long time PT user, expected my projects to load normally.

Current Behavior

Instead, after updating the system to R4.0 and reinstalling PT the following error appears:

Quitting from lines 18-56 (2020-11-11-initial-inspection.rmd)
Error in if (!config$cache_file_format %in% names(.cache.formats)) { :
  argument is of length zero

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

ProjectTemplate::load.project()

My global.dcf reads:

Possible Solution

• How can I help debug this error? I am running R on vim, but I think this is not related.

[KentonWhite]

@lf-araujo Are you running this project through a RMarkDown file? The error references it is being called from 2020-11-11-initial-inspection.rmd If you are can you send the RMarkDown file?

[lf-araujo]

Sure, please find in the gist: https://gist.github.com/lf-araujo/de1357b24a98a463429db6ae57da61af

[KentonWhite]

@lf-araujo Thanks! And just to check, are you getting this error if you run ProjectTemplate::load.project() from the terminal in the ProjectTemplate directory?

[lf-araujo]

It's on vim, which is set to run from the root. But, there is something wrong with the installation, when I run from the root folder another error appears:

• I reinstalled it twice already. What is the best way of purging all package information on disk?

[lf-araujo]

And from RStudio:

[KentonWhite]

@lf-araujo Can you do this and let me know if you get a different response:

library(ProjectTemplate)
load.project()

[lf-araujo]

Now the error changes again:

[KentonWhite]

Progress! Lets see if a default project works for you. Can you go above one directory, make a new project, enter the project and then run ProjectTemplate:

setwd('..')
create.project('debug_pt')
setwd('debug_pt')
load.project()

[lf-araujo]

I think there were old cached ProjectTemplate functions in the session, I emptied the cache and restarted the session anew. And now the errors disappeared! In all envs: vim, Rstudio, R

Thanks for the quick support!

Your instructions above runs normally too.

Will close it, if I find out what happened I update you here.

@lf-araujo Yes please keep me posted! Glad it is working for you again :)
