Fail early when renv packages are not synchronized after restore in CI#14424
Conversation
When renv::restore() encounters network errors (e.g. package manager returning HTTP errors), it can complete without failing even though some packages were not properly installed. Downstream steps then fail with cryptic errors like missing package functions. Add renv::status() after restore and exit with status 1 if the library is not synchronized with the lockfile, surfacing the failure at the right point rather than later in the test run.

When
renv::restore()encounters network errors (e.g. the package manager returning HTTP errors for binary packages), it can complete without failing even though some packages were not properly installed. Downstream test steps then fail with cryptic errors likeobject 'select' not found whilst loading namespace 'dplyr'.Fix
Add
renv::status()after the restore call and exit with status 1 if$synchronizedis notTRUE. This surfaces the installation failure at the right point rather than letting the workflow continue with a broken R library.
