gregexpr error when calling renv::status

[mckenziephagen]

Hi Renv folks!

I've been setting up a project using renv 1.0.7, but I keep getting this Warning. It happens whenever I call renv::status(). I'm using R version 4.3.2.

- Project '/global/u1/m/mphagen/tracto' loaded. [renv 1.0.7]
- The project is out-of-sync -- use `renv::status()` for details.
Warning message:
In gregexpr(pattern, text, perl = TRUE) : PCRE error
        'match limit exceeded'
        for element 1

Any idea what is causing this, or suggestions for debugging? I found a couple instances of gregexpr in the source code, but I'm not familiar enough with the source code to understand the underlying error.

Thanks!
McKenzie

Update: I had an empty .renvignore for some reason, and deleting that fixed the problem! Closing.

Thanks! This should still be simple enough to resolve on the renv side, so I'll see if I can fix this up.

I wasn't able to reproduce just by creating an renv project with an empty .renvignore; let me know if the issue crops up again and if you can provide any more details?
