Hello everyone,

I have a serious problem at deploy an app after I update rsconnect package. R told me to update the package and when I want to deploy the app I get the next message:

Could you help me to solve this problem?

Thank you very much!

Hello Lorena,

I recently had the same issue; had to update rsconnect and was catching errors. Here is how I fixed it:

  1. Ran renv::install("path/to/GitHub/Repo")
  2. Ran renv::refresh()
  3. Ran renv::init()

I then tried publishing again, and RStudio prompted me to make a few updates. I made them, and it worked.

Also, maybe running renv::status() will help you diagnose issues. Hope this helps!

Thanks John. I didn't have at that moment the renv defined. Now yes and it is working. But I am having an issue with the time it takes to load the app, because I make a deploy of the app everyday. So everyday, when you load the app, it takes a long time to download and install all the packages defined in the renv.

Do you know how to manage better the app?

Thank you,

Lorena
