After making a repo based on this template, I cloned the repo and initialized renv with renv::init() using renv 1.0.7. When restarting R and running renv's activation script, I then get the following error message.
Warning message:
In yaml::yaml.load(string = text, eval.expr = FALSE, handlers = list(r = function(yaml) { :
NAs introduced by coercion: 1,2 is not an integer
This can be resolved by adding the products/ folder to a .renvignore file, suggesting that something in the YAML header for one of the products files doesn't seem to work right with renv. Will update this issue when I can figure out what causes it.
