1 output sublist did not have a valid 'description' and will be removed!

[Jean-Romain]

I tried again the first vignette with the correct locale. I got:

rgt_winter = time_specific_orbits(date_from = start_date_w,
                                  date_to = end_date_w,
                                  RGT_cycle = NULL,
                                  download_method = 'curl',
                                  threads = parallel::detectCores(),
                                  verbose = TRUE)

I got again and again and again the same message for each successive download. I got 824 times the same message for RGT_cycle_9 and so on. At the end rgt_winter looks legit

I stumbled upon an error case during the setup of binder
Although in my Operating System this message does not occur, in the binder image I observed that an additional sublist during the processing of the .kml files is included (this sublist does not have the same format as the majority). What are the dimensions of the output "rgt_winter" object?

[Jean-Romain]

It is correct it contains 91390 features and 14 fields

[mlampros]

it seems this was not an issue as it was related to the warning that was added during the binder configuration (one of the sublists does not have the same format as the remaining - LINESTRING rather than POINT). This issue is also similar to #9

I close this issue for now. Feel free to re-open it in case the code does not work as expected.
