When running taf.bootstrap() to install an R package, it failed with the following error message:
> taf.bootstrap() [07:25:03] Bootstrap procedure running... Processing SOFTWARE.bib [07:25:03] * SOFIA trying URL 'https://api.github.com/repos/sofia-taf/SOFIA/tarball/2.1.1' downloaded 13 KB Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type", : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning messages: 1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file 2: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type", : cannot open compressed file 'SOFIA_4288301.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' >
It turns out this is related to an option I was using in my Windows .Rprofile:
options(pkgType="binary")
This option is probably not very useful for anything, but if a TAF user has this option, it will cause taf.bootstrap() to fail.
I will fix this issue with a merge to the TAF 'main' branch, but wanted to document this first with an issue.
