object of type 'environment' is not subsettable

[timspit]

Hello - have used checkpoint a lot on previous projects, adding it now to an existing project folder (with the most basic call of checkpoint("2021-02-01")) and getting the following error:

Creating checkpoint directory [[MY HOME DIR]]/.checkpoint/2021-02-01/lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.6.3
Error in x[] <- if (!is.list(x)) x else if (inherits(x, "condition")) "<error>" else if (is.recursive(x)) lapply(x,  : 
  object of type 'environment' is not subsettable

The execution halts and that error prints to console without any other threads to pull in terms of what is causing the error. Any ideas on what may be causing this? My initial troubleshooting step was to move out of the existing project (which has many files that may be tripping up checkpoint) and just start with one folder, one file, with checkpoint setting and loading in one library, but I still get the error.

I had the same problem with the new version. Didn't have the problem with 0.4.10.

As a workaround, try setting log=FALSE in the call to checkpoint.

Same problem here. The log = FALSE workaround does not work for me. Instead it leads RStudio to crash.

checkpoint::checkpoint(snapshot_date = checkpoint.date, scan_r_only = TRUE, scan_rprofile = FALSE, log = FALSE)

@sarahhaj what exactly do you mean by "it leads RStudio to crash"?

[sarahhaj]

checkpoint is called in an .RProfile file of an R Project. By "crashing" I mean that when opening the project RStudio opens just as a white window and nothing happens even when the snapshot folder already exists.

That seems to be a separate issue. Does checkpoint work if you run it manually, ie, not inside .Rprofile?
