Hello everyone,

My app was working fine for a couple of days, and for the last day or so when I try to deploy the app it fails and returns the below.

Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘rsconnect’
Calls: :: ... loadNamespace -> withRestarts -> withOneRestart -> doWithOneRestart
Execution halted

I reinstalled R, all packages but the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.
George

Hi,

Can you run the app locally without issues?

My first guess would be there is some issue with the sting you used in defining the package name in library(rsconnect) or library("rsconnect"). Are you using any quotes? If so, make sure you erase them or replace them with the basic quotes on your keyboard. Better so, type the whole line again. Sometimes if you copy paste code from a website or other document the quotes or characters in the string are slightly different which could lead to interpretation errors when compiled.

If this is not helping, please provide the code you're using and some more details on the system and R version.

Thanks
PJ

I'm also having this problem. I get the following message when using the deploy button in Rstudio for windows:

Error in loadNamespace(x) : there is no package called 'rsconnect'
Calls: loadNamespace -> withRestarts -> withOneRestart -> doWithOneRestart
Execution halted

I'm able to run the application locally and am able to deploy the application using rsconnect::deployApp() function.

This seems to be something related to the RStudio application itself? Currently running 2022.07.2 Build 576.

I am running all this on a virtual machine, which has caused trouble for me in the past, but as I mentioned I'm able to run the whole thing locally and publish via the command console.

Any ideas? Thanks.
