helper functions to bootstrap from renv.lock 2 #356
Conversation
--- `renv_lock_pkgs()` provides the basic functionality of getting the list of R packages present in an renv.lock file. It does NOT handle the versions of those packages or transitive dependencies not directly used in the project.
--- `renv_lock_r_ver()` retrieves the R version from an renv.lock file.
--- adds the `exclude_other_sources` option to `renv_lock_pkgs()` and defaults it to TRUE. This excludes packages from being returned if the do not have "Repository" as their value for "Source" in renv.lock the and throws a warning listing the excluded packages. This should exclude packages from sources like github which are not presently like to be packaged in nix.
--- add `renv2nix()` wraps `rix()` and populates `r_ver`, `r_pkgs`, `git_pkgs`, and `local_r_pkgs` based on an `renv.lock` file.
--- The `return_rix_call` argument allows `renv2rix()` to return the call to the rix function instead of evaluating it, this allows or debugging the call.
…` information --- The `renv_remote_pkgs()` function takes a single renv.lock package entry as an argument, infers it's remote type and extracts the informaton necesary for `rix()`'s `git_pkgs` argument. This functionality was factored out of the `renv2nix()`, and the `method` argument added `renv2nix()` to allow for a future implementation of exact package version matching.
--- Returns a list of package information suitable to supply to the `git_pkgs` argument of `rix()`
…ith type assertion handling --- Ability to allow remote type inference with error for unsupported types as well as to assert a remote type expected for all pkgs
simpler to work with than using logicals approach and fixes bug with NAs in `r_pkgs` in the previous approach.
These files come from some random projects of mine sampled from those generated with a few different versions of renv, and one which is a snapshot of the current rix package.
if source was not "Repository" `renv2nix()` looked for a remote, source can also be "Bioconductor" and not have a remote which resulted in an error as remote was empty when source was "Bioconductor"

About excluding {renv} from I've been playing around with projects where both the {renv} and nix environment management are present and running an I'd say if the {renv} package is in your |

Thanks for reopening @RichardJActon and sorry again! Next time I want to add changes, I'll open a PR against your branch ! |

We can ignore the unit test not passing in CI, that's due to a known issue with Rcpp and R 4.4.2. A fix is coming to CRAN so this won't be an issue much longer |
Resuming where we accidentally left off: #349
Partially addresses #5, this implements a "fast" inexact conversion from renv to nix environment description. It does NOT capture the exact package versions, just the R version and the list of packages in
renv.lock, nor does it differentiate primary from transitive dependencies inrenv.lockit simply lists all dependencies.To Do
renv.lockexamples, and handling any resulting edge cases
