get_hurdat error #6

Closed SwampThingPaul closed 3 years ago

SwampThingPaul commented 3 years ago

Hi @timtrice, I noticed the HURDAT library was no longer on CRAN and when I run get_hurdat(basin=c("AL")) I get the error below. 

Error in regexpr(regex, string, perl = TRUE) : 
  invalid regular expression '([:alpha:]{2}[:digit:]{6}),\s+([[:upper:][:digit:]-]+)\s*,\s+([:digit:]+),'
In addition: Warning message:
In regexpr(regex, string, perl = TRUE) : PCRE pattern compilation error
    'POSIX named classes are supported only within a class'
    at '[:alpha:]{2}[:digit:]{6}),\s+([[:upper:][:digit:]-]+)\s*,\s+([:digit:]+),'

Wondering if you have encountered something similar? I am wondering if something with the NOAA source changed?

Hi Paul, The issue is related to changes in the tidyr package. If you download the HURDAT version from the pull request from Hadley Wickem, (https://github.com/timtrice/HURDAT/pull/5) you'll have a version that you can build and use. It compiled and ran for me with no issues. I think it just needs to be pulled into the main code and then it should pass the CRAN checks.

Release 0.2.3.2 incorporates #5. This version is also now back in CRAN..

Thank you both for your patience.
