Hello, I am trying to handle more gracefully the issue that occurs when one
attempts to install a new version of a package whose library is currently
loaded. When one does this the functions in the package work but when one
tries to view the documentation a warning pop is given and the following
messages are in the terminal.
Error in fetch(key) : lazy-load database '' is corrupt
Warning message: In fetch(key) : internal error -3 in R_decompress1
When testing this behavior with other packages but installing old versions,
loading the libraries, and then trying to update I sometimes get a popup
message from Rstudio that begins
Updating Loaded Package
One or more of the packages that will be updated by this installation are
currently loaded. Restarting R prior to updating these packages is strongly
recommended. RStudio can restart R and then automatically continue the
installation after restarting (all work and data will be preserved during the
restart). Do you want to restart R prior to installing?
The popup asks if I want to restart the R session prior to installing. This
has never occurred with my own package, only ones I have gotten from CRAN. I
however can not reliably replicate this popup appearing. For my purpose all of
the work with the package will occur within RStudio. Is there a way to force
RStudio to show this popup when one tries to update an already loaded
package/library in order to avoid having the user have to figure out why the
documentation has all of a sudden stopped working? Alternatively could the
same thing be done at the command line forcing the user to acknowledge the
issue and either progress with the install or first restart?
Thank you for any help or insights into this problem
