Inaccessible geographies

[bdbmax]

Thanka a lot for this package, I look forward to using it to have much easier access to CMHC data!

While I can access data using cmhc::get_cmhc, I cannot access geographies using cmhc::get_cmhc_geography. It looks like the endpoint to the AWS bucket isn't right:

> cmhc::set_cmhc_cache_path("~/cmhc_cache", install = TRUE, overwrite = TRUE)
Your original .Renviron will be backed up and stored in your R HOME directory if needed.
Your cache path has been stored in your .Renviron and can be accessed by Sys.getenv("CMHC_CACHE_PATH").
[1] "~/cmhc_cache"
> cmhc::get_cmhc_geography(level = "ZONE")
Downloading geographies, this may take a minute...

Let me know if there's any more information from my end you'd need me to share.

Thank you!

Thanks for flagging, will look into this.

Ok, looks like I disabled public access to the S3 bucket at some point. I think I fixed that and it should work now. Please let me know if it continues to make problems.

Additionally I found a problem that on first run it would report the the download failed. But when running again everything will be fine. This is fixed on the v0.2.3 branch and will get updated on CRAN with the next update.

It seems to still not be working. It returns the exact same error (on both main and v0.2.3 branch)!

[mountainMath]

Ok, thanks for bearing with me. I think I figured out the root cause, I did not properly set the S3 bucket region for the data and my environment variables were masking that. It should now work on the v0.2.3 branch. Can you give it another try?

[bdbmax]

I confirm, it's fixed! Thanks for the quick answer, and thanks again for this package!
