Saving ggplot object results in indefinitely growing file

[sakrejda-umich]

On qs version 0.25.7, the following code causes the save file to grow indefinitely. Not clear from here why.

libary(ggplot2)
qs::qsave(x = ggplot(), file = 'test.qs')

I'm happy to help reproduce if the above doesn't do it.

Hi, I will need some help reproducing. Here's my output:

library(ggplot2)
qs::qsave(x = ggplot(), file = '/tmp/test.qs')
sessionInfo()
file.info("/tmp/test.qs")

Ok, I have a couple of systems I can try it on so I'll see if it's reproducible on my end before I update
