read.dcf error when using connectApiUser

[dewoller]

When I try to connectApIUser prior to batch publish an Rmd document, using the following command

rsconnect::connectApiUser(account = "XXX", server = "XXX", apiKey = "XXX")

I get the following error

Error in if (any(ind)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

4: read.dcf(...)
3: readDcf(serverConfigFile(name), all = TRUE)
2: serverInfo(server)
1: rsconnect::connectApiUser(account = "XXX",
       server = "XXX", apiKey = "XXX")
>

The error persists after I delete all my dcf files in the project, and restart R. Suggestions?

Not sure if this is the underlying cause, but it looks like this can happen if read.dcf(<path>, all = TRUE) is called on an empty file; for example:

dcf <- tempfile(fileext = ".dcf")
file.create(dcf)
read.dcf(dcf, all = TRUE)

I see:

> dcf <- tempfile(fileext = ".dcf")
> file.create(dcf)
[1] TRUE
> read.dcf(dcf, all = TRUE)
Error in if (any(ind)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

Is that true in your case? If so, the question would then become why that .dcf is empty at all...

That DCF file is located with rsconnect:::serverConfigFile; could you let us know if the referenced file is empty? The following code should help:

file.info(rsconnect:::serverConfigFile("SERVER_NAME"))
