ClimateR freezes

[Rapsodia86]

Hi @mikejohnson51, I wanted to answer #94 but looks like I am not able to get the data downloaded. It just runs and never finishes. I tried on #93 and #94 examples, but no success.

system.time({
  cdat = terra::ext(c(-98.90219, -65.21105, 28.12502, 50.43962)) |>
    vect(crs = '+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +no_defs') |>
    getTerraClimNormals(
      varname = "tmin",
      scenario = "19812010",
      month = 5:9)
})

Here is the session info:

I'm having this same problem. getMACA() worked yesterday, but when I try it today, even just downloading one day for one point, it hangs. I also updated both ClimateR and AOI (and associated packages), but issue persists. Could it be a problem with the MACA THREDDS server?

    future1 = getMACA(AOI, 
                      model = gcms[1], varname = vars[1], scenario  = "rcp45",
                      startDate = "2023-01-01", endDate = "2023-01-02")

Update:: I believe the freezing is due to a firewall or security setting on my government computer because the function works fine on a personal comp. Not surprise that a bulk download would be blocked...

Hi Mike, great work with climateR. I was practicing with the getTerraClim function and it also freezes.

The error occurred initially on my personal computer, but when I tried it in my office I had no problem. After checking the repository issues I found this thread. Now I managed to overcome the problem by installing the same version of R (4.1.3) as my office and paying attention to an important detail:

looking at a message when loading the climateR package, the following appears:

I was able to install this package (tzdb) and work correctly with climateR, at least with the mentioned function and in the R version 4.1.3.

Checking in the version that maintains the error R 4.2.2, I installed the tzdb package and still the error persists when trying to download the data with the getTerraClim function.

Checking the DESCRIPTION file, I saw that the tzdb package is not included in the imports section and it is crucial according to the message with which I was able to resolve the issue on my computer.

Glad to be able to help resolve this issue with your help.

I'm in a Windows 11 pc both office and home.
