download_t100 error #7

Closed shriyakaram closed 3 years ago

shriyakaram commented 3 years ago

Hi Filipe,

I'm trying to download some T100 segment data using the download_t100 function but I'm getting the error: No internet connection or data source broken (my code: t100_seg <- download_t100(2019, "seg"). I checked your source code in the download_t100.R file and it seems as the url: "https://www.transtats.bts.gov/DownLoad_Table.asp" is broken.

Wondering if this can be fixed or if you have an alternative solution/suggestions.

Thanks!

@shriyakaram It seems that the BTS changed the way the links work. I'll work on that this week and keep you updated.

@shriyakaram The issue should be fixed. Please note that skynet requires the RCurl package from now on. Also, install the version from devtools::install_github("FilipeamTeixeira/skynet"), as the CRAN version will take a bit longer to be updated.

Let me know if it worked.

Hi Filipe, It's still giving me the same error with the "No internet connection or data source broken" (my code: t100_seg <- download_t100(2019, "seg"). I re-installed using devtools::install_github("FilipeamTeixeira/skynet") but I'm still getting the same error. any suggestions?

Hi @shriyakaram,

Can you confirm that you have skynet v1.4.1 installed? Also, did you install the RCurl package? Finally, don't forget to restart RStudio and R after you installed everything. I tested it on my side, and it's working as it should.

Yes, it's working now! I didn't restart RStudio. Thanks.
