Package downloads 3.4 but installs 3.3.2

[jonathandroth]

I am currently running 3.3.2 and was hoping to use the package to upgrade to 3.4. I ran the followign code and got the resulting output. It appears to have downloaded 3.4, but I am still on 3.3.2

I think part of the issue is that if the installation fails, it fails silently, because of the ignore.stdout = TRUE and ignore.stderr = TRUE on line 44 of updateR.R:

When I replaced that line with system(command), reinstalled the package, and ran updateR again, I saw that the system command had actually failed, because I needed to update my mac OSX version. After I did that, everything worked.

[AndreaCirilloAC]

Hi, sorry for late reply. @krisrs1128 thanks for the valuable information. If you can test your hypothesis would be of great help for all of us if you could send a pull request.

Thanks,

A

[krisrs1128]

Hi @AndreaCirilloAC I just created a pull request. In my case printing the error message helped me update my system so that the terminal installation (and hence this package) worked.

Different terminal errors will depend on the actual user (it might not always just be a mac version issue, like it was in my case). But at least this will alert people to what the error might be.

[fmerhout]

One issue for @jonathandroth and @ningchencontact also seems to be that updateR only looks for the most recent R version without confirming that it is compatible with the OS. Both are running OS X (Mavericks) 10.10.5 but R 3.4 is only compatible with OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and higher.

[AndreaCirilloAC]

this is definitely not implemented, we can add it as a possibile feature to be implemented, even if I don't think one the most urgent.

[fmerhout]

I agree that it is not that urgent; but it might be good to have a note about it in the readme as a heads up.

[AndreaCirilloAC]

@fmerhout point taken, and readme updated.

[AndreaCirilloAC]

@jebyrnes @daranzolin I have made a few changesto the packages, possibly fixing the issue you were experiencing. Could you give updateR() another try and let me know? In case of negative output, could you tell me if and were the 3.4.4.pkg got installed? thanks

[toyo10]

Still not working for me. Version 3.3. got installed.
