tidyfeed throws error when reading feed #30

Closed lodderig closed 4 years ago

lodderig commented 4 years ago

When I try to reed the RSS feed below with tidyfeed it throws an error

`rss <- tidyfeed("https://emm.newsbrief.eu/rss/rss?type=rtn&language=en&duplicates=false")

Error in xpath_search(x$node, x$doc, xpath = xpath, nsMap = ns, num_results = 1) : xmlXPathEval: evaluation failed `

httr::GET and xml2::read_xml both work fine

where is the function rss_parse defined?

Hi @lodderig

Please use the dev version. It will be on CRAN as soon as I clean up a few loose ends. Works fine: 

> tidyfeed("https://emm.newsbrief.eu/rss/rss?type=rtn&language=en&duplicates=false")

It's actually geo_parse() used, and defined here.

Thanks a lot for the swift follow-up, works again like a charm.

You're welcome. Thanks for using the package, and in particular for taking the time to file the issue.
