Cause of "Error in abort()" message?

[adeloera]

Hi! I'm wondering if the cause of the an error message "Error in abort(): A message must be a character vector, not a list." is known. I get it occasionally, but also inconsistently, on get_events() calls for fishing events. Sometimes I get it when trying to extract events as part of a loop, but the code runs fine outside of a loop. Not really sure what is going on there--curious if anyone knows what I could do!

For what it's worth this particular time I got it trying to run fishing_events <- get_event(event_type = "fishing", start_date = "2016-01-01", end_date = "2016-12-31")

But I've gotten it before on much smaller calls when trying to loop through several vessels and extract all their fishing events.

The issue appears to still come up when using region_source = 'trfmo' even if using a short time frame. I am guessing this is due to the larger spatial range.

This was addressed by PR #100. Use region_source = 'rfmo' now because there are non-tuna RFMOs that can specified.
