Conda warnings taken as errors

[dougmet]

Hi, not sure if this is the right repo, I actually experienced this problem in keras but thought this might be the source.

In conda 4.6.11 there is a bug whereby a deprecation warning is being printed to stderr. This warning isn't a problem to a python user (beyond being annoying) but it's bringing down the R connection.

This seems similar to #65 and I wonder if there's anything that can be done to carry on for warnings, or whether the fix really needs to come from the conda side?

We have a fix for this here: 01e22ce

Could you try installing from master to see whether this resolves the issue on your end?

Apologies, should have tried fresh install from master before posting. That did get me round this issue -- thanks! It's fallen over further down stream, but it's probably a different issue:

Creating r-tensorflow conda environment for TensorFlow installation...

Works no problem from normal conda (ie conda install keras) mind but by all means close here. Thanks for the quick response!

Thanks for confirming! We're planning to submit to CRAN soon with a bugfix for this issue.

Just a quick update for future googlers. conda has been updated to get rid of that silly warning, so upgrading conda is an alternative. Also the error I still had above was not related to this at all, but rather a Windows/SSL thing, which broke both pip and conda. By upgrading my git-for-windows installation everything started working again.

Is this issue has been solved? I am facing this warning today.

It should be resolved as long as you are using either the latest version of reticulate or latest version of conda.
