tar_timestamp()
checks the metadata in _targets/meta/meta
,
not the actual returned data of the target.
The timestamp depends on the storage format of the target.
If storage is local, e.g. formats like "rds"
and "file"
,
then the time stamp is the latest modification time
of the target data files at the time the target
last successfully ran. For non-local formats like
"aws_rds"
and "url"
, then targets
chooses instead
to simply record the time the target last successfully ran.
If the target is not recorded in the metadata
or cannot be parsed correctly, then
tar_timestamp()
returns a POSIXct
object at 1970-01-01 UTC
.
