Description
I am new to packrat but I would like to use it for managing the packages inside my project.
After many attempts i have succeeded installing my packages into the packrat library.
However, when I do packrat::snapshot() i get the following error
`packrat::snapshot()
Error: Unable to retrieve package records for the following packages:
- "ROracle"`
My project uses a zip file for the ROracle package.
I also do not see a button in my RStudio for taking a snapshot of my packages.
Could someone help me with this ?

Research direction
Start by reproducing packrat::snapshot() in a project that installs ROracle from the linked zip package, then trace the package-record retrieval error. Done means snapshot completes successfully or reports a clear, actionable limitation for this package source; the payload names no repository files or tests.
