interactions between cleanEHR and ccanonym possible at fault #47

Open DocEd opened 6 years ago

DocEd commented 6 years ago

ccanonym relies on a function from cleanEHR called deltaTime. The traceback on this during the anonymisation procedure shows that this function may be at fault re: anonymiser not working properly.

This might explain why the anonymiser "works" in linux but not in windows - as there are subtle differences in the packages that are loaded. Without git its hard to keep track, although they are the same version numbers, they are in fact different commits.

I will write a modification to deltaTime and load it directly into the ccanonym package. I'm just writing this here in case I don't get time as someone may want to pick up this thread next week.

Either way, we should consider removing this interdependency.
