This error just started showing up:

[njbowen]

Error in vroom_(file, delim = delim %||% col_types$delim, col_names = col_names, :
bad value

[iblacksand]

This error seems to originate outside of WebGestaltR since our package does not use vroom. Does this error occur regardless of the file you use?

[njbowen]

Thank you for responding. I have a feeling it is something to do with a conflicting library, or my Rstudio and R package isntallation environment, but not sure.
Here is the error with traceback:

We do use readr for reading files, which does have conflicting methods with vroom, but I can still use your WebGestaltR command with both packages loaded. It also works regardless of the order I load the packages. Perhaps this is due to the package versions installed? Another possibility is your rank file is not correctly formatted.

This is my results when I run sessionInfo() in the R console. I am running readr v2.1.4 and vroom_1.6.3 with WebGestaltR v0.4.6.

Could you share your results from sessionInfo()? Also if you call library("readr") to overwrite the vroom functions, does that fix the problem?

[njbowen]

still get error when loading library(readr) just before calling WebGestaltR

[njbowen]

seems to be a vroom issue, i deleted vroom, reinstalled vroom 1.6.3 and error disappeared.

also saw this tidyverse/vroom#519

[iblacksand]

Glad you found the issue!
