[Markov12345]

Hello, Ive just upgraded toR Version r and when I try to reinstall the abbettpr package it tells me its not available for R version 4. Can this ne fixed as I need R version 4.

Is there any update?

Sorry, no update. I haven't installed R version 4 anywhere in order to test. I'm pretty sure it'll be a dependency issue somewhere though.

Thanks for reply Phill. Wasn't sure if the package was still maintained and working.

Is that something I can fix or would I be better off rolling back a version? Thanks Phill

I guess the answer is that the package is barely maintained and it still works against the R versions I've tested it against, which sadly doesn't include v4.0. As sport and racing in general are shut down at the moment, I haven't been using the package in anger for a few months either.

I honestly can't say when I'll upgrade to R v4.0 and have a chance to test the package. Rolling back might be a better short term option.

One thing you could do to assist, could be to extract the individual functions from the package, starting with loginBF and then trying perhaps listCountries and executing them manually. Load the three libraries, RCurl, httr and jsonlite manually at the start.

If those functions continue to work with R v4.0, I'll need to dig deeper.

Sure I'll give it a go.

Thanks again for the assistance.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I've extracted the functions and they do still work. So Im just using them at present. The issues may just be fixed by repackaging the functions for version 4. Racing is still on in Australia so Im still running the code.

Good news!

I'll have a look at re-packaging over the weekend if I can.

Hi both, the package installed for me today. Think it's because I didn't have devtools installed previously. May not even need a repackage! I used install_git.
