R crashes on loading basemap

[BlaiseKelly]

Creating a domain over Europe. basemap_raster requests and downloads successfully but then R crashes.

Am using R 4.3.2 and have tried with the stable and development version of basemaps.

library(basemaps)
library(sf)

##create simple domain of europe
d <- st_bbox(c(xmin = -25, xmax = 30, ymax = 72, ymin = 30), crs = 4326)

## get map
bg <- basemaps::basemap_raster(ext=d, map_service = "carto", map_type = "light")

## R crashes

Following, I am using basemaps in my class and a few students also encountered this issue with the development version, even though the code works with others.

I also get this issue using the mapbox satellite maps.

Thanks for reporting this issue. Could you please check if R still crashes running @BlaiseKelly's example with the most recent version of basemaps on GitHub (install with remotes::install_github("16eagle/basemaps")? Thanks!

[bblonder]

I do not get a crash after updating the package and running that example.

[BlaiseKelly]

I can also confirm no crash, using R 4.3.3 and the remotes::install_github("16eagle/basemaps") installation. Many thanks @16EAGLE

[16EAGLE]

Thanks for testing. basemaps is back on CRAN and should be stable, closing this. Please reopen if you experience this bug again.
