Error in fbad_request - name lookup timed out

[daap86]

Hi,

When I execute my code in R Server, I get the following error after this line:

fbacc=fbad_init(accid,tkn,version="2.10") Error in fbadrequest(path = paste0("act", accountid, "/"), method = "GET", : This is a bug in the fbRads package. Please report on GitHub with a detailed output: name lookup timed out

However, when I execute it in my computer it works fine, whether loading the token from .rds file or obtaining it from credentials.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Similar issue, but executing in Rstudio I am doing this from work through the guest network. WIll try this at home and update if there is a difference.

just learned that FB api has had issues all day. Will try tomorrow if issue persists

[daroczig]

Seems to be a temp network issues - please reopen if the problem persists

[daap86]

Hi, I think you should reopen this issue (I can't do it), because I don't think this is a temporal problem. I've been getting this error since last Friday in R Server, but not in my computer. Also the error mentioned by @poplavok is not exactly the same ("cannot coerce type 'environment' to vector of type 'character'").

@daap86 see the error message from your post: name lookup timed out -- that's a network issue that we cannot resolve within the R package. Check the network settings (eg DNS) of your server.
