renv error when rendering quarto

jftnese · October 13, 2023, 10:40pm

I am sometimes unable to render quarto documents for my quarto website that I was previously able to render. When I try, it gives me the following error:

Error in if (n == 1) word else paste(word, "s", sep = "") :
the condition has length > 1
Calls: source ... sprintf -> <Anonymous> -> nplural -> paste -> plural
Execution halted

I noticed I also get this error when I restart my R session.

Error in if (n == 1) word else paste(word, "s", sep = "") :
the condition has length > 1

So when I googled, I found this code here: renv source: R/utils.R in the plural() function.

I am not sure what this function does, or why it is causing my renders to fail, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is related to a previous post: quarto website `qmd`s not rendering

Probably related to this renv issue

Error in if (n == 1) word else paste(word, "s", sep = "") : the condition has length > 1

bug

I have a project with renv 1.0.2. It seems to work fine in one environment, but …inside a docker image it generates the following error when R is starting: <details><summary>renv::restore()</summary> ``` $ Rscript -e 'renv::restore()' # Bootstrapping renv 1.0.2 --------------------------------------------------- - Downloading renv ...

Thanks! Can you please offer advice where I can locate my renv cache directory? I am using a PC. I do not see a folder for ".renv", only "renv". Is it the folder within the renv folder where all the libraries are located?
Should I be using a .renvignore instead?

Look at the documentation about paths maybe ?

This will allow you to get the effective value for your project.
