Hi @jeroen I tried to fix this but I'm struggling to understand what the problem is. I thought it was due to non-ASCII characters in the "stations" dataset...but it's clearly not.

jeroen commented 4 years ago

Hmm 🤔 does your package pull in text or data that may contain non-ascii characters?

cvitolo commented 4 years ago

Yes, the package scrapes a website therefore it could pull in non-ASCII characters. The function ukair_catalogue() contains steps to retrieve the raw data and clean it up. However, as far as I understand, the failure happens as soon as the raw data is pulled in (before the clean up step).

I also do not understand why it fails here and not in travis

It seems to be working now. It was probably an issue on the server side.
