tab_model() saved file will disapear, when other code is executed after?

[b-niu]

Hi, I have met this strange bug like below:

Let's make a directory named "test":

dir.create("test")

rm(model); gc()

There is nothing in this path:

# nothing in this dir:
list.files(path = "test")

character(0)

head(ToothGrowth)

len supp dose 1 4.2 VC 0.5 2 11.5 VC 0.5 3 7.3 VC 0.5 4 5.8 VC 0.5 5 6.4 VC 0.5 6 10.0 VC 0.5

We can create a html file named "test1.html" like this:

foo <- function() {
+   model <- lm(len ~ dose, data = ToothGrowth)
+   sjPlot::tab_model(model, file = "test/test1.html")
+ }

foo()

list.files(path = "test")

[1] "test1.html"

But when we save a pdf file generated by other functons, the html file will disapear!

bar <- function() {
  model <- lm(len ~ dose, data = ToothGrowth)
  sjPlot::tab_model(model, file = "test/test2.html")
  p1 <- forestmodel::forest_model(model)
  ggplot2::ggsave(filename = "test/test2.pdf", plot = p1)
}
bar()

Resized limits to included dashed line in forest panel Saving 7.91 x 5.71 in image

list.files(path = "test")
**# No html file saved!**

[1] "test1.html" "test2.pdf"

It seems that, the file "test2.html" will be saved, and soon removed by some reason.

Not sure if this can be related to: https://github.com/ropensci/targets/issues/285

It might be related to the fact that the code is run inside a for-loop, but that's just a guess.
