Error : object ‘hiredis’ is not exported by 'namespace:RedisAPI'

[amoeba]

Tried to install rrqueue today and was stopped at installing RedisHeartbeat:

Error : object ‘hiredis’ is not exported by 'namespace:RedisAPI'
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘RedisHeartbeat’
* removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/3.2/site-library/RedisHeartbeat’
Error: Command failed (1)

I'm running Mac OS 10.11.3 (though I was able to reproduce this on Ubuntu) and R 3.2.3. I see the latest Travis CI build is failing for this too. I'm new to R packaging but it looks like RedisAPI just isn't exporting what RedisHeartbeat wants. I looked for RedisAPI::hiredis but only found RedisAPI:: rcppredis_hiredis. Is this right?

More details below:

Redis 3.0.6 installed and running:

$ redis-cli PING
PONG

hiredis installed via brew

$ ls /usr/local/lib | grep hiredis
libhiredis.0.13.dylib
libhiredis.a
libhiredis.dylib

$ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
$ R

I hope this is just an issue with my setup. I'm happy to help fix however I can.

Thanks for the heads up; I've been changing all the packages quite a lot behind the scenes (or at least did a couple of months ago) and looks like things don't fit together properly anymore. I should be able to get this fixed pretty quickly.

I'm not using Redis for queuing at the moment as I changed jobs (I was using Amazon EC2 where this sort of setup works really well) so it's off my radar a bit...

[richfitz]

Ah, so it turns out I already dealt with this, but never pushed the changes:

Updates have been pushed to the RedisAPI, RedisHeartbeat and rrqueue repos (the RedisHeartbeat problem was only one of the breaking changes I introduced last year). Give it a shot and please let me know if you run into trouble.

[richfitz]

Looks like rrqueue and RedisHeartbeat are both passing on travis now :rocket:

Thanks for the detailed report, and apologies for the trouble.

No worries! I just successfully installed RedisHeartbeat and rrqueue. Thanks for the quick fix and thanks for writing this amazing set of packages.
