Problem with help manual?

[chadhazlett]

After some time using sensemakr, the following appears in the console:

Error in fetch(key) : lazy-load database '/home/chad/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3/sensemakr/help/sensemakr.rdb' is corrupt

Also, possibly related, if the vignette is loaded, then attempting to access the help file thereafter does not seem to work.

I'm 99% sure this is an R / install_github() issue

https://github.com/hadley/devtools/pull/1001

seems like restarting the r session is the fix for all these database error situations whenever someone loads an old version of package, github install a new version, looks up documentation. seems like the old and new versions get mixed up.

Can you restart your r session and try to recreate the problem? or even one step further, uninstall sensemakr, install the new version, restart the r session, then recreate the problem?

With that workflow, I do not encounter the error in mac or linux environments

# devtools::install_github("chadhazlett/sensemakr",build_vignettes = TRUE,force=TRUE)
# restart R session

library(sensemakr)

# iterate between vignette() 
# and ? help doc

?sensemakr
vignette('sensemakr','sensemakr')

Restarting does remove it for a while but I'm not sure what makes it come back. At any rate as long as its a github_install issue that's manageable.

closing, but if it pops up again, further investigation is needed
