Error: Radix articles cannot be previewed in this version of RStudio.

[slfan2013]

Please update to version 1.2.718 or higher at https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/

My version RStudio is "Version 1.2.1004", but I still got this error.

I think the error is because of the code
if (rstudio$version < "1.2.718")

Truly, the "1.2.1004"< "1.2.718" is TRUE, which shouldn't be.

So if you execute the following from the console do you get the error:

radix:::validate_rstudio_version()

Then, what is the output of rstudioapi::versionInfo()$version ?

[slfan2013]

Hi, the radix:::validate_rstudio_version() does not give any error.

rstudioapi::versionInfo()$version output is ‘1.2.1004’

I got the same error.

Truly, the "1.2.1004"< "1.2.718" is TRUE, which shouldn't be.

I think we should use package_version().

"1.2.1004" < "1.2.718"
#> [1] TRUE
package_version("1.2.1004") < package_version("1.2.718")
#> [1] FALSE

same error for me fellas

[jjallaire]

Now I see, the rollover of the RStudio Preview version to 4 digits ("1004") is what is making this fail. Fix is checked in here: rstudio/radix@1f08dda

To install the fixed version:

devtools::install_github("rstudio/radix")

[randomgambit]

@jjallaire haha not so fast!

Curious. I see the same error on my Windows.

This seems an error in utils::unzip(). Maybe there's a limit of path length? (Only on Windows...?)
I don't think radix is responsible for fixing this, but I guess considerable numbers of people will face this. Wish there's a nice workaround for this...

[yutannihilation]

I guess r-lib/remotes#84 is (though this seems mistakenly closed...)

Anyway, this issue is definitely fixed. We should file a new issue if we want to continue the discussion.

[jjallaire]

Okay, I just removed that example site from the main repository (it was indeed an issue with path lengths and unzip)

[yutannihilation]

Thanks @jjallaire, I confirmed I can install the current master!

Seems like it would be nice to update the blog post, and tutorial to say that you need a preview version of RStudio and to install radix from github.

I came here from the newsletter a few days ago, which I finally got around to trying.

[jjallaire]

Yes, both have been updated

Hi,

i try to work with radix package, i get this error:

Error: Radix requires RStudio v1.2 or greater. Please update at: https://www.rstudio.com/rstudio/download/preview/

when i try to install new versioon of rstudio,i can not.

any idea?
thx
David

[jjallaire]

You need to provide more details than "when i try to install new versioon of rstudio,i can not".

We have thousands of people successfully install every day so there is not a general problem with installation. We need to know specifically what is going wrong during installation. Failures to install RStudio are also better reported at https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues

[dsaada]

I'm sorry, it's error was on my side. Radix work fine now.
many thanks
David

This worked for me r-lib/remotes#84 (comment). It opens a download list to choose and if you already have digest installed then you will want to skip that in the option to download. Afterwards Radix worked on my computer. This was the only suggestion that worked on my computer
