Sandpaper error when restoring project library

[olexandr-konovalov]

I am trying to follow https://carpentries.github.io/sandpaper-docs/migrating-from-styles.html and after the dialog

- Would you like to restore the project library? [y/N]: y

the following happens:

I can see that @froggleston released sandpaper 0.16.6 two days ago, but shouldn't the previous release still be available?

I can install the latest sandpaper manually, but then I am not sure that any other packages needed for the migration from styles to workbench would be missing

Context: I want to migrate https://github.com/carpentries-incubator/gap-lesson to Workbench.

Hey @olexandr-konovalov - thanks for your question! I think this might be something for @tobyhodges - it looks like the renv.lock file needs to be updated to use 0.16.6 but I'm not 100% sure of the process for doing this. Toby, can you assist?

[olexandr-konovalov]

Thanks @froggleston - indeed, bumping up the version and updating md5 checksum in renv.lock seems to work. Of course, let's wait till @tobyhodges have the final word.

Next undocumented hurdle - missing jq. Resolved with brew install jq.

[olexandr-konovalov]

Finally, after some fiddling with (re)setting previous attempt after an error message caused by missing jq, it worked really well - everything was converted smoothly! Thanks a lot for providing tools and instructions! See Workbench version at https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/gap-lesson/
