Hi! A change in 1.25.0 (R options reset after future completion) causes problems with packages like ff/ffbase which set options on package load in order to locate temporary files. Thank you! |

Hi. Yes, we learned the hard way after the future 1.25.0 release that (a) some packages relying on R options to record a global state and (b) those package are not robust against such options being removed. First report was on data.table breaking, cf. #609. Yours on ff is the second report; thanks for reporting. This is fixed in the next release. Until that is on CRAN (a week or so), use the develop version; https://future.futureverse.org/#pre-release-version. |
