Error with spacetime due to "." at start of of data labels

[rpkamakura]

I am using package version 0.2.4.

I am trying to create a simple spacetime object but I am getting an error from cli that says:

Error in `fun(..., .envir = .envir)`:
! Invalid cli literal: `{.data_l...}` starts with a dot.
i Interpreted literals must not start with a dot in cli >= 3.4.0.
i `{}` expressions starting with a dot are now only used for cli styles.
i To avoid this error, put a space character after the starting `{` or use parentheses: `{(.data_l...)}`.

Here is the code I ran:

#get the data for NDVI
D4_Dat_nz <- read.csv("../01Data/AvgNDVI_gridDat_wZones.csv")
D4_dat_hspt <- D4_Dat_nz[,c("TARGET_F_1", "Year", "AvgNDVI", "Date")]
names(D4_dat_hspt)[names(D4_dat_hspt) == "AvgNDVI"] <- "value" 

#get the locations
GridLocs <- st_read("../01Data/Lvl1_grids/SegmentCanopies_FullWest_wZone_wDispl.shp")
geo <- GridLocs[,-(1:3)]
geo <- geo[,-(2:10)]

#make sure the two line up
pxls <- unique(D4_dat_hspt$TARGET_F_1)
pxls2 <- unique(geo$TARGET_F_1)

geo_f <- geo[geo$TARGET_F_1 %in% pxls,]
geo_f <- st_zm(geo_f)
D4_dat_hspt <- D4_dat_hspt[D4_dat_hspt$TARGET_F_1 %in% pxls2,]

#create your spacetime object
stObj <- spacetime( D4_dat_hspt, geo_f, "TARGET_F_1", "Year")

Hmmm! It looks like a recent version of cli just got pushed that breaks the formatting that we use. In the meantime can you downgrade cli to a version that is less than 3.4?

[JosiahParry]

Oh hm. Actually, I cannot reproduce this. Can you update {cli}?

I am running cli version 3.6.2, which I think is the most recent, but I uninstalled and re-installed it and now the example code you all wrote works! Unfortunately, the example I have does not work. I will update this error note with the code I ran and have added the files I use as well
