Error from coops_search(product = "predictions") for any time zone argument other than "gmt"

[Maggie-Mason]

I have a nearly identical script using product = "water_level", time_zone = "lst_ldt" with no issue. Trying to request tide predictions with any time zone argument other than "gmt" produces the error at the bottom. Currently I can request it as GMT then convert the datetime to EST, but that means my data call is starting and ending a quarter day off from what I want for my EST station.

> may.tides <- (coops_search(station_name = 8551762, 
+                                           begin_date = 20200501, end_date = 20200531, 
+                                           datum = "mtl", product = "predictions", units = "metric", time_zone = "lst_ldt"))

Error in if (!repeated && grepl("%[[:xdigit:]]{2}", URL, useBytes = TRUE)) return(URL) : 
  missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

I've double checked with the script to see if it was this specific product producing the error:

@Maggie-Mason try again after reinstalling - should work now.

predictions gives no information with which to adjust time zone - so we just skip that in this case
