Incorect warning about "The project is currently out-of-sync" when lockfile not stored at the root

[OndrejMottl]

Problem description

When the lockfile is not stored in the root of the project (for example in a folder with an additional project setting), the {renv} will incorrectly state that the project is out of sync:

* Project 'XXX' loaded. [renv 0.17.3]
* The project is currently out-of-sync.
* Use `renv::status()` for more details.

That is not the case because if I run :

renv::restore(lockfile = here::here("PATH_TO_MY_SETTINGS/library_list.lock"))

I get:

* The library is already synchronized with the lockfile.

Details

OS: Windows 11 Pro
{renv} version: 0.17.3

Do you see this issue with the development version of renv? Can you share the contents of your lockfile?

[OndrejMottl]

Yes, the issue is the same even for the development version.

Here is an example of my library_list.lock (have to manually change it to library_list.txt so that GH allow to upload it).
library_list

@kevinushey any progress on this? I have updated to version 1.0.7 and the problem still persists.

Thanks -- sorry, I haven't had the time to investigate yet. I'll put this issue in the 1.1.0 milestone for further investigation.
