Error in ee_Initialize() : reticulate refuse to connect with rgee

[pjaguirreh]

Hi!

I'm getting the following error when trying to execute the ee_Initialize() command: Error in ee_Initialize() : reticulate refuse to connect with rgee.

I followed the instructions from the rgee site and when I run ee_check() I get the following message, I don't know if it's related:

ee_check()
(*) Python version
√ [Ok] C:/Users/pjagu/AppData/Local/r-miniconda/envs/rgee/python.exe v3.8
√ [X] earthengine-api not installed

Any guidance?
Thanks

Hi,

I just found the solution! Apparently this come from an update of Conda version. You have just to update your conda version with the following :conda update -n base conda. It works for me.

Hi @pjaguirreh your conda env looks good. It seems the problem is that ee_install (for some reason) does not install the earthengine-api Python API, maybe as @LouiseLeroux says, related with your conda version. You can install it manually as follow:

rgee::ee_install_upgrade()

If it doesn't work try:

conda install --name rgee earthengine-api

If you persist presenting this problem please attached us your rgee env:

Sys.getenv("EARTHENGINE_PYTHON")
Sys.getenv("EARTHENGINE_ENV")

[pjaguirreh]

Tried both suggestions and didn't work (I'm attaching two related images).

Regarding your request:

Sys.getenv("EARTHENGINE_PYTHON")
[1] "C:\Users\pjagu\AppData\Local\r-miniconda\envs\rgee\python.exe"
Sys.getenv("EARTHENGINE_ENV")
[1] "rgee"

[csaybar]

Please attached us the following information:

library(rgee)
library(reticulate)
earthengine_python <- Sys.getenv("EARTHENGINE_PYTHON", unset = NA)
Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON = earthengine_python)
reticulate::py_config()

[pjaguirreh]

[csaybar]

Please, Can you run again? I updated the message

library(rgee)
library(reticulate)
earthengine_python <- Sys.getenv("EARTHENGINE_PYTHON", unset = NA)
Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON = earthengine_python)
reticulate::py_config()

OBS: You need to restart R before to run again reticulate::py_config

[pjaguirreh]

ps: Yes, I'm restarting R each time I try a new instruction

Hi, I solved the problem terminating my R session. After terminated your R session, can you attached us again the following:

library(rgee)
ee_check()
ee_Initialize()
reticulate::py_config()

[pjaguirreh]

Thank you all for the time. I did it and still the same problem

[csaybar]

Hi @pjaguirreh really strange, but for some reason, you have miniconda with Python36 and Python38.

Please can you share with us a traceback of your error?

ee_Initialize()
traceback()

Do not forget to restart your R session.

[pjaguirreh]

[csaybar]

Ok, it helps. Can you run the follows please, if you get an error please share with us the traceback()

library(rgee)

earthengine_python <- Sys.getenv("EARTHENGINE_PYTHON", unset = NA)
print(earthengine_python)
Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON = earthengine_python)
ee_current_version <- system.file("python/ee_utils.py", package = "rgee")
ee_utils <- rgee:::ee_source_python(ee_current_version)
print(ee_utils$ee$'__version__')

OBS: You need to restart R before to run rgee:::ee_source_python

[pjaguirreh]

Apparently that worked!

But if I start a new R session I have to run again the code you attach.

[pjaguirreh]

And I can't run it after I "do the check" because I get the following:

But if I restart the session and run again the code you attach it works once again.

HI @pjaguirreh, I really do not understand why you get refuse error. Does the code below work for you?

earthengine_python <- Sys.getenv("EARTHENGINE_PYTHON", unset = NA)
print(earthengine_python)
Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON = earthengine_python)
ee_current_version <- system.file("python/ee_utils.py", package = "rgee")
ee_utils <- try(rgee:::ee_source_python(ee_current_version), silent = TRUE)
con_reticulate_counter <- 0
while (any(class(ee_utils) %in% "try-error")) {
  ee_utils <- try(rgee:::ee_source_python(ee_current_version), 
                  silent = TRUE)
  con_reticulate_counter <- con_reticulate_counter + 1
  if (con_reticulate_counter == 4) {
    stop("reticulate refuse to connect with rgee")
  }
}

[pjaguirreh]

Apparently, if I just don't run "ee_check()" there's no problem with "ee_Initialize()". I was already able to run the examples in the rgee site.

ee_Initialize()
-- rgee 1.0.4 --------------------------------------- earthengine-api 0.1.229 --
√ email: not_defined
√ Initializing Google Earth Engine: DONE!
√ Earth Engine user: users/gee_earth_engine

[csaybar]

Thanks, happy to see rgee working, thanks to notifying us, we study in deeper the problem with ee_check().

[DANYPORRAS]

ee_Initialize('DanielPorras')
Error in ee_connect_to_py(path = ee_current_version, n = 5) :
The current Python PATH: C:/Users/DANIEL/AppData/Local/r-miniconda/envs/rgee/python.exe

your R session after install miniconda or run ee_install()?
If no do it, please try again:
ee_install(): To create and set a Python environment with all rgee dependencies.
ee_install_set_pyenv(): To set a specific Python environment.

Thanks to the suggestions above, the following solved the issue for me:

earthengine_python <- Sys.getenv("EARTHENGINE_PYTHON", unset = NA)
Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON = earthengine_python)
.rs.restartR()
