R help - May 2009 - RGoogleDocs

Hi there,

I'm not certain if this is the correct list where to post this question, or
if it ought to be on the R developper one... I am trying to use the RGoogleDocs
package to import into R the spreadsheets on my Google docs account. I
downloaded the latest package (0.2.0) and installed it. I can get a connection
going, but it seems that I can only get a doc one...

Here is the code I am using:
>library(RGoogleDocs)
>auth = getGoogleAuth("loginName", "psswrd",
service="wise")
>sheets.con = getGoogleDocsConnection(auth)
>a <- getDocs(sheets.con)   
I get the following error:

Error in checkSlotAssignment(object, name, value) : 
  assignment of an object of class "NULL" is not valid for slot
"access" in an object of class "GoogleSpreadsheet";
is(value, "character") is not TRUE


If i change the service to "writely", I get the full listing of the
google docs and cannot import a spreadsheet due to the fact that the sheets.con
is of the wrong class.

Any help would be appreciated ! I am running under Ubunto 8.10 if that can
help...

Thanks.

Robert

This is the correct list. And it is best to email the author of the 
package first.

This turns out to be a simple case of the feedLink/access information 
not always being present in the resulting  XML returned via the query.

A new version of the package is on the Omegahat repository that fixes
this.  Thanks for pointing it out.
