Upgrade renv

Upgrade the version of renv associated with a project.

upgrade(project = NULL, version = NULL, reload = NULL, prompt = interactive())

Arguments

project	The project directory. If NULL, then the active project will be used. If no project is currently active, then the current working directory is used instead.
version	The version of renv to be installed. By default, the latest version of renv as available on the active R package repositories is used.
reload	Boolean; reload renv after install? When NULL (the default), renv will be re-loaded only if updating renv for the active project. Note that this may fail if you've loaded packages which also depend on renv.
prompt	Boolean; prompt upgrade before proceeding?

Value

A boolean value, indicating whether the requested version of renv was successfully installed. Note that this function is normally called for its side effects.

Details

By default, this function will attempt to install the latest version of renv as available on the active R package repositories. If you'd instead like to try out a development version of renv, you can explicitly request a different version of renv and that version of the package will be downloaded and installed from GitHub. Use version = "master" to install the latest development version of renv, as from the renv project's GitHub page.

Examples

if (FALSE) {

# upgrade to the latest version of renv
renv::upgrade()

# upgrade to the latest version of renv on GitHub (development version)
renv::upgrade(version = "master")

}
