Error message when installing devtools::install_github("Huh/collar"....)

[eschaeff]

"Huh/collar" has been working without issue the last year and suddenly it's started giving me an error message that I can't seem to figure out or understand to run my script. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!

library(devtools) devtools::install_github("Huh/collar", dependencies = TRUE, force = TRUE)

Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub: schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: SEC_E_INVALID_TOKEN (0x80090308) - The token supplied to the function is invalid

[Huh]

Ha, this error is everywhere, see #80 for a related yet unrelated example. I think a deep dive into Rcurl or similar may be the only way to tease this out. I will look around a bit this afternoon and see if I can make any progress. Thanks for the example.

It is probably worth noting that I can't reproduce this error on any of the machines in our office. Also, I would tend to suggest the error is actually coming from devtools::install_github and not the collar package. Are you working from inside a government agency? That could be part of the theme here, some windows update, security related or otherwise.

[Huh]

@eschaeff could you please provide output of

devtools::session_info()

I am also assuming that you have a github PAT setup and it works as expected for other packages and operations. Does running the following suggest that you can connect to github?

usethis::git_sitrep()

@Huh a PAT shouldn't be required for downloading a public repo, but maybe that's the problem? I wonder if devtools is passing the PAT anyway and it's invalid. I agree the output of session_info() and git_sitrep() would be super helpful.

@eschaeff can you try logging out of github using your browser, then running devtools::install_github again?

[Huh]

I guess I was thinking you need to authenticate regardless of the action. Not sure though, I probably spend too much time in private repos.

[eschaeff]

@Huh yes, I'm working from an agency computer. I actually recently had a proxy problem that IT fixed, so maybe that created this issue with R since I never had this error in the past. If that is the source of this kind of error, do you recommend any steps I can take to correct it? I agree, it seems like that issue is devtools::install_github, not the collar package. I haven't needed the github PAT setup previously to run this script, but I'll look into that too. Thanks!
