I can confirm that I have the same error.

I'd recommend trying without the vignette, pak::pak("ClaudioZandonella/trackdown").

Then if you have authentication problems, please refer to #59

I hope this helps!

[ailich]

Installing using build_vignettes = FALSE or through pak doesn't resolve the issue. After looking into it a bit further, it seems that trackdown is not compatible with the latest version of the googledrive package (2.1.0). trackdown can be installed if you first install an older version of googledrive using remotes::install_version("googledrive", version="2.0.0").

This happens due to this line since as noted by the warning, "The app argument of drive_auth_configure() is deprecated as of googledrive 2.1.0." Instead of app the client argument should be used.

app is constructed using httr::oauth_app() whereas client is conructed usinggargle::gargle_oauth_client_from_json()

[maelle]

Oops, sorry! Good catch. Maybe you can make a PR to trackdown?

[ailich]

@maelle, I'm not familiar enough with the googledrive package and the authentication protocols to get it working. I tried changing the line to be googledrive::drive_auth_configure(app) or googledrive::drive_auth_configure(client = app) but get

Error in googledrive::drive_auth_configure(client = app) : 
  missing(client) || is.null(client) || inherits(client, "gargle_oauth_client") is not TRUE

I've also tried updating this line from using gargle::oauth_app_from_json to gargle::gargle_oauth_client_from_json since the documentation for drive_auth_configure says that is the function that should be used but it doesn't resolve the issue.

[ClaudioZandonella]

Sorry for the issue,

I am working on that to fix the compatibility with the new version of googledrive!

Sorry for neglecting the development in the last couple of months. This weekend I am finally able to work again on the code.

[ailich]

Awesome and thanks! I just used trackdown to manage collaboration on a paper and it worked really well!

[ClaudioZandonella]

Hi @ailich,

I fixed the problem🎉. You need to install the develop version remotes::install_github('claudiozandonella/trackdown@develop)

Remember to remove the old version of trackdown first. I will prepare the new release after a few more minor fixes.

Let me know if you can now install trackdown.

[ClaudioZandonella]

Hi @ailich @jpalma-espinosa @maelle

I just released version 1.5.1 that fixed compatibility with the new version of googledrive🎉.

googledirve and gargle (the two packages that manage the communication with Google APIs) changed their underlying functions and arguments. In particular, what was named before app now is client. It is still an ongoing transformation as most functions allow deprecated arguments.

Be sure to install the new version of googledirve and gargle, they are required by trackdown (I already specified it in the Imports section so everything should be automatic).

Now everything should be fixed! I close the issue.

But if there are still problems with the installation, do not hesitate to reopen the issue!😉

[ailich]

Thanks! Working great for me!
