Must call bupaR::to_eventlog() when using absolute or relative animation mode

[drhudgins]

Create activity log

activities <- df %>% bupaR::activitylog(case_id = "order_id", activity_id = "activity_id", timestamps = c("start", "complete"), resource_id = "resource_id")

Works when mode = "off" but breaks when mode = "absolute" or "relative"

activities %>% processanimateR::animate_process(rankdir = "TD", mode = "off", initial_state = "paused")

activities %>% processanimateR::animate_process(rankdir = "TD", mode = "absolute", initial_state = "paused")

• processanimateR::animate_process(rankdir = "TD", mode = "absolute", initial_state = "paused") Warning: Object is activity log. Timestamps are stored in 0 columns.Error in rlang::sym(): ! Can't convert NULL to a symbol. Backtrace:
  1. activities %>% ...
  2. processanimateR:::timestamp_(eventlog)
  3. rlang::sym(bupaR::timestamp(eventlog))

The workaround is to convert to eventlog()

activities %>% bupaR::to_eventlog() %>% processanimateR::animate_process(rankdir = "TD", mode = "absolute", initial_state = "paused")

It seems processanimatR is not fully compatibly to the activtylog format yet. While converting to event log helps, let's leave this issue here until proper compatibility is in place
