Bug in actel version 1.3.0.9015"

[LeneSo]

I downloaded the latest actel version ‘1.3.0.9015’ from github using the function remotes::install_github("hugomflavio/actel", build_opts = c("--no-resave-data", "--no-manual"), build_vignettes = TRUE). When I run the function migration with “method = first to first” on some data, it starts as normal, but then I get this error message:

Hi Lene, thanks for reporting this!

Could you run this same analysis but in debug mode? All you need to do is run

options(actel.debug = TRUE)

before running your analysis again. This will show exactly which internal function caused the crash. The last few lines of the output should be enough to figure out what crashed.

I ran actel with the debug option, but doesn't seem that it provided any more insights?: M: Checking movement events quality. Debug: Checking movement quality for tag A69-1604-34982.

149 is now being tested. Once it passes the tests it will be merged into the master. If you want to give it a try right away, you can install the version being tested directly with:

remotes::install_github("hugomflavio/actel",
                        ref = "issue_148",
                        build_opts = c("--no-resave-data", "--no-manual"),
                        build_vignettes = TRUE)

Fix is now merged with master. Could you confirm this resolves your problem?

Thanks!
