I'll try it on one of my 3.2.4 systems in a bit. Still on the work Mac and I'm stuck at 3.2.3 on that till one of our pipelines is done. It's working fine on this setup tho:

and, wow are things bad in my state

walkerke · 2016-03-25T03:58:58Z

Hmm... this is the second time this has been brought up (see #14) but the previous issue was on a different operating system. There seemed to be an issue with the cache directory that rappdirs was pointing to - I couldn't reproduce the error.

cpsievert · 2016-03-25T04:23:05Z

Hmm, it seems to be a problem for tempdir() as well

walkerke · 2016-03-25T04:49:33Z

It appears as though tigris::urban_areas(cb = TRUE) worked, however?

In regards to tempdir(): try setting the option not to use the cache after the library call. For example:

library(tigris)
options(tigris_use_cache = FALSE)

me <- counties('Maine', cb = TRUE)

Let me know if that still isn't working.

cpsievert · 2016-03-25T04:54:54Z

It appears as though tigris::urban_areas(cb = TRUE) worked, however?

Yep.

try setting the option not to use the cache after the library call

That worked, thanks!

walkerke · 2016-03-25T14:34:33Z

Good to hear. I want to figure this out though as in both your and @ZellW's cases the folders are not unzipping as they should. @hrbrmstr any ideas why this might be happening?

walkerke · 2016-05-16T17:56:23Z

@cpsievert I believe I've fixed this issue in e2a0044. On occasion, Census downloads won't work (internet hiccup, the Census website is down, etc.). When this happens, tigris puts a folder in the cache directory anyway that will impede any future attempts to get the file.

Now, adding the argument refresh = TRUE will re-download the shapefile and load it correctly. I've tested myself and it is working; would you mind installing the development version from GitHub and then running me <- counties('Maine', cb = TRUE, year = 2014, refresh = TRUE) and seeing if that works? The year argument is necessary because the new version of tigris now defaults to 2015 shapefiles.

cpsievert · 2016-05-16T23:45:17Z

Works great, thanks!

walkerke · 2016-05-17T01:16:55Z

Great! Sending the update to CRAN shortly.

Erich-St · 2017-01-24T22:16:28Z

Hi!

I'm having similar troubles as those folks before me. I tried the solutions suggested in previous comments, but to no avail. Does anybody know where the problem is?

Best regards,
Erich

Have a look at this open issue: #23. tigris currently supports Census boundaries from 2011 to the present; for 2010 boundaries, I recommend the UScensus2010 package.

I'm leaving the issue open as I'll probably get to it at some point, but it isn't a top priority for me. I would welcome a pull request, however.

Erich-St · 2017-01-25T21:26:18Z

Dear Kyle, Thank you very much for your quick reply. I will try with the other package then. But I guess for Tiger/line files from earlier censuses (2000, 1990, 1980) there is no R package, right?

There isn't an R package for boundaries that go back that far - however you can get historical boundaries from NHGIS: https://www.nhgis.org/

hi i am having this issue with tigris using it rails() method i used
options(tigris_use_cache = FALSE)
but still it gives

Error in ogrInfo(dsn = dsn, layer = layer, encoding = encoding, use_iconv = use_iconv, :
Cannot open data source
In addition: Warning message:
In unzip(file_loc, exdir = tmp) : error 1 in extracting from zip file

code
library(tigris)

options(tigris_use_cache = FALSE)
rls <- rails()

plot(rls)

jaybgholap · 2018-10-30T19:29:24Z

@Ahmed-qureshi
I encountered the same error recently. It got fixed when I downgraded tigris to version 0.5.
I got an error while using tigris 0.7.

irinasm · 2019-02-21T01:08:12Z

I am having the same problem. adding "options(tigris_use_cache = FALSE)" did not help.
My code is this:

library(tigris)
options(tigris_use_cache = FALSE) 
geoc <- counties(cb=TRUE)

the error is this:

Error in ogrInfo(dsn = dsn, layer = layer, encoding = encoding, use_iconv = use_iconv,  :

In addition: Warning message:

I am using MAC OS.
I solved this problem by changing the OS language to english.

laurenmarietta · 2021-05-21T16:51:01Z

I'll pile on to say I've been having this issue for the county_subdivisions function (not for other geographies) for a few weeks now. I've tried implementing all the fixes here, to no avail. Using tigris version 0.8.2 on Mac OS Big Sur.

Here's my code:

library(tigris)
options(tigris_use_cache = FALSE)
county_subdivisions("MA", cb=T, refresh=T)

And the error:
Error in ogrInfo(dsn = dsn, layer = layer, encoding = encoding, use_iconv = use_iconv, : Cannot open layer

walkerke · 2021-05-21T17:41:06Z

Hi @laurenmarietta - the version of tigris you are running is two years old, which may mean that you also have some other outdated packages. I'd recommend updating tigris to the latest version and also updating the sf package; my hunch is that this will solve the problem (I'm running your code without error).
