Description

Hi, I encountered the error described in the title upon running tar_make_future() if I use qs as my default storage format. The pipeline can often (not all the time) finish if I use tar_make() instead, but it almost always stop if I use tar_make_future().

Does anyone know how to deal with this? I can of course change the storage format to rds, but the loading/saving time takes so much time.

Thanks in advance!

The future tasks might be using a different set of package library paths than your local session. To check, you can have a target that returns .libPaths(), and you can compare that with the output of .libPaths() from your local session. They may be different. Otherwise, please read https://books.ropensci.org/targets/help.html and elaborate on your use case.
