load_dataframe method does not respect guess_max argument

[RPanczak]

I've been trying to read csv file using load_dataframe method. readr package is installed. Manual specifes that:

You can supply other arguments to the parsing function via the ... argument.

I'm having an issue with the method not respecting guess_max argument. I tried with another argument (delim) and it works fine. Is there any way around it?

Thanks!

It seems it is not respecting other arguments too. I tried delim and that works too but I need col_select which does not seem to work

It looks like this might be a typo.

This line https://github.com/Azure/Microsoft365R/blob/299718f0457d1ee255ea693eb262a86b60013ecc/R/ms_drive_item.R#L433

should be like this

  readr::read_delim(con, delim=delim, ...)

I see. So that explains why only delim gets passed. I'm not a strong programmer. Is there a way I can do a fix for this locally or do they have to fix it in an update?

You'll need to wait till they patch this unless you want to build your own version from the GitHub. I did open a pull request with my proposed change but given the last commit was 5 months ago and then it would need to be pushed to cran that may take a while.

I see. I'm looking for a quick fix as I'd like to use the function now. Is it difficult to build my own version of it in GitHub? Would it be just a matter of creating a copy of the existing package, making the edit and installing that package on my machine manually?

[delabj]

Basically! It's not too bad. You could always I think make that function in your script and overwrite the package version, but that's usually not advisable.

This is now in the fix-load-dataframe branch

Many thanks for implementing that!
