Packages not showing as installed when .Rprofile running

[jabenninghoff]

Starting in renv 1.0.0, I get an unexpected message when starting R in one of my packages (https://github.com/jabenninghoff/jbplot)

ℹ Loading jbplot
ℹ The package "ggplot2" is required.
✖ Would you like to install it?

1: Yes
2: No

After doing some troubleshooting, this appears to be happening because some packages are not detected during execution of the .Rprofile. Running renv::diagnostics() inside .Rprofile after source("renv/activate.R") reports the following in the Status section:

# Status ---------------------------------------------------------------------
The following package(s) are missing:

See ?renv::status() for advice on resolving these issues.

Running renv::diagnostics() again after R starts reports:

# Status ---------------------------------------------------------------------
No issues found -- the project is in a consistent state.

Thanks for the bug report! By any chance, does this issue only reproduce in RStudio and not within R terminal sessions?

We made a change recently that ensures the project is loaded within an RStudio session init hook, which is something that happens "later", soon-after the rest of the R session has finished initialization. I suspect you're running into trouble due to this issue.

You are correct, itt does work correctly in R terminal sessions, thanks for the quick fix!
