Description

Whenever I open my project packrat is not recognized in the packages pane console windows. In the Project Options window I have selected "Use packrat with the project" and "Automatically Snapshot Local Changes" choices. So, the consequence is that every time I run the project I must remember to run the packrat::on() command. That's fine with me however the project is deployed across various geographic sites among different levels of users, therefore it would be much easier if packrat loaded as expected, automatically.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the project with “Use packrat with the project” and “Automatically Snapshot Local Changes” enabled, then compare the packages pane and console before and after running packrat::on(). Done means packrat loads automatically when the project opens and runs without requiring that command manually.
