Hi,

I think this is a great idea, was really excited to find that it exists. However, it doesn't seem to work for me. Perhaps I have installed it incorrectly.

I used:
packages.install('devtools')
devtools::install_github('Timag/imageclipr')

This didn't work at all - threw an error message complaining that PIL wasn't installed. So from Terminal I ran 'sudo pip install pillow'.

Now when I run 'devtools::install_github('Timag/imageclipr')' it installs without error but when I try to paste something in I get this error:

MacBook Pro 2018 running OS X Mojave 10.14.6
RStudio 1.1.456
I have Python installed, I think, on this machine but I have never used it. This may be the issue - I have no idea whether it's working, whether all the paths are correct etc.

Any suggestions?

Hi @superficialt ,

thanks for your feedback. I didnt have the chance to test the package on Mac, a friend wanted to do that, but didnt find the time. So i cant reproduce it at the moment :(.

I made an update to the code. Could you re-install the latest (dev) version from github and see if there comes an error message- If that doesnt help - could you check if there was a file created in the same directory as your notebook file is?

If that doesnt help i will try to get my hands on a mac.

Best regards,
Tonio

Thanks for the input. I've updated the package, and restarted R. It seems to be more broken now I'm afraid. I get an error message now before the code clip (in my image above) appears:

Error in value[[3L]](cond) : Error copying the file with python. Error message reads: Error in py_run_string_impl(code, local, convert): Evaluation error: option error has NULL value. In addition: Warning messages: 1: replacing previous import ‘shiny::runExample’ by ‘shinyjs::runExample’ when loading ‘imageclipr’ 2: In if ("AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'save'" == : the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used

Not more broken, more detailed logging :) The python code seems to fail. Checking the error leads to: rstudio/reticulate#494.
So it could be a bug in rstudio.

Could you have a look at it and check if the error occurs if you work outside a project or update rstudio to the referenced version?

any update @superficialt ?

Hi, Sorry I didn’t really understand the previous email. What is the referenced version? Tom

I meant you could check: rstudio/reticulate#494. There they write about the same error message.
--> Action would be:

• test code outside an rstudio project in case you are using one
• update rstudio to the version mentioned in Python errors in rmarkdown notebook chunks show: Evaluation error: option error has NULL value. rstudio/reticulate#494

I think I found the error for Mac OSX.

It looks like that the filePath from the rstudioapi is throwing a path name that has tilda (~) as the home directory. And whenever that path is given to the python code, it fails.

I created a pull request (although, I think due to this Windows Mac OSX differences in line breaks it shows a entire code changes) that fixes the issue and works with Mac OSX. (It is just one additional line, which I believe will not affect Windows usage).

[superficialt]

OK, forgive my ignorance but how do I update to your version?

[Toniiiio]

Thanks for the PR @chlee-tabin. You are right on the "diff" he showed me -168 + 170 lines of code, but thats fine. I merged the PR, thanks for the OSX support!

@superficialt. You can update now, by downloading the current version.

@TiMaG Hi thanks again for the wonderful package which I am using it. I created one more pull request which I am happy if you decline, but I think it makes sense of naming the png files alongside the markdown file (I have multiple markdown files in a directory so makes it easier to pinpoint which images I pasted).

[Toniiiio]

Sure, thanks for your contribution!!
