'read_rda' has no method matching read_rda(::UTF8String)

[mmagnuski]

I tried the following:

ds = dataset("lme4", "Dyestuff")

which gives me the error mentioned in the title (in .julia\v0.3\RDatasets\src\dataset.jl)

I'm on windows 8 and have just updated to Julia 0.3.7

[mmagnuski]

Copying dataset function with UTF8String type declarations works, but then GZip throws an error:

ERROR: GZError(-1, "gzopen failed")
 in gzopen at C:\Users\Mikuś\.julia\v0.3\GZip\src\GZip.jl:246 (reapeats 2 times)

:cry:

@mmagnuski I'll look into this now.

@johnmyleswhite Do you mind turning on Travis for the repo? datasets() hasn't kept up with recent PRs, so tests are failing -- I'll fix that and add Travis config -- should keep the things in line in the future.

[johnmyleswhite]

In principle Travis should be running already: I suspect the absence of a travis.yml file is what's holding us back.

[garborg]

@johnmyleswhite Travis didn't take in #34. Is green in Settings -> Webhooks & Services -> Services -> Travis green here?

[garborg]

I forget -- maybe it won't build until .travis.yml is in master.

@mmagnuski I just tested this on 0.3 and 0.4 using only tagged package versions, and it worked here. I'm guessing Pkg.update() should fix your issue. Please try, and close if it works, or share versioninfo() and Pkg.status() if it doesn't. Thanks.

[mmagnuski]

I tried Pkg.update but had some errors from other packages. Now I removed RDatasets and then added it again. I am no longer getting read_rda error, but the GZError(-1,"gzopen failed").

How does your Pkg.status() look just for RDatasets and dependencies? e.g.

julia> Pkg.status()
27 required packages:
 - Compat                        0.3.7
 - DataFrames                    0.6.2
 - RDatasets                     0.1.2
64 additional packages:
 - DataArrays                    0.2.12
 - GZip                          0.2.14

It seems like Pkg.update() is having trouble updating a dependency or two.

(Sometimes I have to run Pkg.update twice, too, because it chokes the first time.)

[mmagnuski]

Pkg.update claims that nothing should be updated (I ran it a couple of times). My Pkg.status():

7 required packages:

This issue is so old, it can't reasonably be debugged if it's still an issue. Will be updating package, and will test for this from 0.4.6 and forward.
