Compatibility Issue with R 4.4.0

[stevefatz95]

Hi Mark,

I recently upgraded to R version 4.4.0 and encountered an issue when trying to install searchConsoleR. It seems that the package is not available for this version of R.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install R 4.4.0.
2. Attempt to install searchConsoleR using install.packages("searchConsoleR").

Expected Behavior:

The searchConsoleR package should install without any issues on R 4.4.0.

Actual Behavior:

The installation fails with the following warning message:

Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘searchConsoleR’ is not available for this version of R

Additional Information:

• R Version: 4.4.0
• Operating System: MacOS Sonoma version 14.4.1
• R Environment: Rstudio

Additional context or information that may be helpful in resolving this issue.

Potential Solutions Considered:

• Checking for updates to searchConsoleR that may support R 4.4.0.
• Investigating compatibility issues between searchConsoleR and R 4.4.0.

Note:

I'm keen to continue using searchConsoleR and would appreciate any guidance or updates regarding its compatibility with R 4.4.0. Thank you!

It’s not available at the moment for any R versions actually! It’s removed from CRAN due to an issue with googleAuthR - it can still be installed from GitHub

Hi there! I have the same problem.
When I try using GH, I get:

devtools::install_github("MarkEdmondson1234/searchConsoleR")
Using GitHub PAT from the git credential store.
Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:
  HTTP error 401.
  Bad credentials

Update:
OK, so this is a minor thing I was able to resolve with help from: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70908295/failed-to-install-unknown-package-from-github
I basically ran usethis::create_github_token() got sent to GitHub, created a token with default settings, copied the token into Sys.setenv(GITHUB_PAT = "token") and installed your library with no problems. Hope this helps those who haven't used devtools/GitHub in a while.

@bart-turczynski that looks like an issue with your github PAT maybe? you shouldn't need one as this is a public github repo

Yup, this helped:
