Error in gzfile(file, mode) : cannot open the connection

[GuodongZhu]

Hi Sckott,

when I use isd_stations() or isd_stations_search( ), I got the following error

Error in gzfile(file, mode) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In gzfile(file, mode) :
  cannot open compressed file 'C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\rnoaa\rnoaa\Cache/isd_stations.rds', probable reason 'No such file or directory'

And I have checked that the directory indeed doesn't exists. Does isd_station() store the temporary result in that directory? Why it can't find it? And I have tried to run R as administrator.

Thanks!

Looks like we may be doing paths incorrectly on windows. i'll look into it

[GuodongZhu]

Hi Sckott,

Looks like it is a small bug in version 0.6.5. I just installed 0.6.4 and there is no error.

[sckott]

thanks for the update.

[sckott]

@GuodongZhu Okay, try again your example after reinstalling from here: devtools::install_github("ropensci/rnoaa")

it should work now

[GuodongZhu]

It works now, thanks!

This happened to me too. What worked for me was deleting the ".rds" file in my working directory/my documents.

[sckott]

thanks @xmagicanderson for your comment on this - good to know

This is a little old, I know; but I get the same error. I'm creating a learnr tutorial. I don't see an .rds file in the location specified in the warning message, or in the working directory.

@pickardpredictives thanks for the session info, but i don't see the rnoaa version in there

[pickardpredictives]

Sorry, wrong place, huh? Similar error. I'll post it to learnr.
