Error reading the DESCRIPTION file

I'm bamboozled at this error message:

Any ideas? As the below reprex shows there's seemingly nowt wrong with DESCRPTION from the perspective of read.dcf()...

Did you manage to figure this out in the meantime?

If not, can you please point me to the source repo?

[Robinlovelace]

Just tested and am still getting the error, using the same version of pkgdown it looks like this:

I get a couple of different failures, once of which is a pkgdown problem. But when I try and knit that index.Rmd I get:

label: rnet (with options) 
List of 1
 $ warning: logi FALSE

Assertion failed: (!"should never be reached"), function itemsTree, file ../../../../src/geos-3.6.1/src/index/strtree/AbstractSTRtree.cpp, line 373.

[hadley]

I also get an uninformative error message, but it looks like it's a buglet in callr: r-lib/callr#41

[Robinlovelace]

Thanks for the fix. I'm getting a different error now though with the latest version, any ideas?

Error in section_init(pkg, depth = depth) : object 'depth' not found

[dblodgett-usgs]

@hadley -- did you identify what was causing the error :

Assertion failed: (!"should never be reached"), function itemsTree, file ../../../../src/geos-3.6.1/src/index/strtree/AbstractSTRtree.cpp, line 373.

I am getting the exact error when running tests in rstudio but not if I run test_file("...") and this is the only reference to it on google. I can not reproduce this outside the context of a test run...

Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

[dblodgett-usgs]

Stab in the dark uninstall and reinstall of rgeos using:

install.packages("rgeos", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org", type="source")

Seams to have fixed it. Not sure I want to know what was actually wrong!

[Robinlovelace]

Who knows. Pkgdown seems to be working again now though which is great. Thanks all!
