ERROR 'x' and 'y' lengths differ

[aseemsharma1]

When running the Climpact locally in windows for a station it calculates most of the indices but through error ''x' and 'y' lengths differ in calculating hw as in the screenshot below. Also below is the session info. I run into this error for my station but also when running the sample data included in the climpact.

Session info

I have the same problem; did you fix it?

[heroldn]

@RTwaha what version of R are you using. Thanks @aseemsharma1 for the info, I'll have to get a Windows machine with something close to your version to check this. Were there any issues when running the install scripts? Is there a reason you're not using the online version? https://climpact-sci.org/

[aseemsharma1]

@heroldn there were not any issues reported during installation. I am using the local machine as I have to run the app for 100+ stations. When tested with 1 sample station online, it works fine.

Hi both, I don't have direct access to a Windows machine, if the installation went fine my first guess is that there's been a change in one of the dependencies in recent versions of R (and you both seem to be on the latest). If this is urgent I'd ask you to try installing an older version of R, e.g. 4.0.5. Otherwise I'll try get around to this in the next week or so (that doesn't mean I'll solve it in that time though).

Hi! I am facing the same issue. I tried to run the sample data as well, but got the same error of x and y length difference. I tried using the online version but that is also not working, it is showing the calculation of the indices but is not giving the option or any link to download the final results.

[heroldn]

Ok please try replacing line 109 of services/quality_control_checks.R with: metadata$date.years <- unique(format(as.Date(merge_data[, 1]), "%Y"))

Something seems to have changed in Base R in a recent update that's changed the outcome of that line. I will commit this edit at some point, but let me know if it doesn't work.

[ThomasAbinun]

Hi heroldn, I encountered the same error (x and y lengths differ) By modifying line 109 as indicated, it works perfectly now. Thank you very much for your help. Thomas.

[ManishaSingh12560]

Hi Herold, Thank you so much for responding. I tried this and it works perfectly well now.
