Lots of `#STDOFF` messages being printed to console

stephenashton-dhsc commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I'm working with a custom package installed locally, and since updating the installed version of tzdb on my system, I am getting significant numbers of console messages along the lines of #STDOFF x:xx:xx.x where the x:xx:xx.x is a positive or negative time measurement.

This is also causing issues within various sections of R CMD check for this custom package - to the point where the number of messages is being recorded as an error/fail state.

Is this being caused by tzdb and if it is expected behaviour, would you be able to give me any pointers for how to supress this message in my package.

This is the full output from my R CMD check:

This is with tzdb 0.4.0?

DavisVaughan commented 1 year ago

Are you using clock in your package? Or just tzdb for some reason?
In a fresh R session, does tzdb::tzdb_names() trigger this to print out?
In a fresh R session does clock::zoned_time_now("") trigger this to print out?

I have a feeling it is in some way related to https://github.com/HowardHinnant/date/commit/22ceabf205d8d678710a43154da5a06b701c5830

DavisVaughan commented 1 year ago

Oh and if you install dev clock with pak::pak("r-lib/clock") does it magically go away?

stephenashton-dhsc commented 1 year ago

Yes, this is with tzdb 0.4.0 installed on the system.

The package doesn't directly require/suggest 'tzdb' or `clock', but they may be coming in via another package.

I'll check to see if I can identify the triggers you suggested :)

stephenashton-dhsc commented 1 year ago

tzdb::tzdb_names() does not trigger these messages in a fresh session
clock does not appear to be installed/required by the system, so I don't think it would be this.

DavisVaughan commented 1 year ago

Does it require/suggest readr, vroom, or arrow?

stephenashton-dhsc commented 1 year ago

Yes - we have readr and arrow in the package imports

DavisVaughan commented 1 year ago

Try reinstalling those from source, arrow might be hard but you should be able to do pak::pak("tidyverse/readr") at least

stephenashton-dhsc commented 1 year ago

Can do - it appears just to be with arrow as library(arrow) is triggering the console output, whilst library(readr) has no issues.

stephenashton-dhsc commented 1 year ago

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like rebuilding arrow from source has changes anything - library(arrow) still triggers the messages, and they actually appeared in the install log as well (under loading from temp/final location).

DavisVaughan commented 1 year ago

I think the problem might be that arrow includes their own version of tz.cpp and they haven't updated it to account for the fact that the 2022b time zone database had a change that prevents old tz.cpp versions from parsing it silently, but they do use the time zone database from {tzdb}, which is newer than 2022b and therefore contains the change

I'll follow up with arrow about it

DavisVaughan commented 1 year ago

In the meantime if you downgrade to tzdb 0.3.0 it should probably fix it

stephenashton-dhsc commented 1 year ago

Fab - thanks for the help! :)

DavisVaughan commented 1 year ago
