This has nothing to do with on.exit. It is an iteraction between where the warning is signaled in 'file' and your _exiting_ warning handler. This combination has the same issue, tryCatch(file(tempfile(), "r"), warning = identity) showConnections(all = TRUE) as does options(warn=2) file(tempfile(), "r") showConnections(all = TRUE) I haven't looked at the

Gabor, You can grab the connection and destroy it via getConnection and then a standard close call. (it actually lists that it is "closed" already, but still in the set of existing connections. I can't speak to that difference). > tryCatch( + readLines(tempfile(), warn = FALSE)[1], + error = function(e) NA, + warning = function(w) NA + ) [1] NA >

I noticed the following file descriptor leak when I couldn't remove a package unless I shut down the R session that had loaded and used it. The function that triggered the problem printed the output of a call to parse(). Each time one prints a srcref a connection is opened and not closed. It looks like it happens in as.character.srcref's call to getSrcLines, which has some logic I

Thanks for tracking this down. Yeah, I should use suppressWarnings(), you are right. Although, readLines() might throw another warning, e.g. for incomplete last lines, and you don't necessarily want to suppress that. TBH I am not sure why that warning is given: ? con <- file(tempfile()) ? open(con) Error in open.connection(con) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In

Yeah, that's often a possible workaround, but since this connection was opened by readLines() internally, I don't necessarily know which one it is. E.g. I might open multiple

Consider this code. This is R 3.4.2, but based on a quick look at the NEWS, this has not been fixed. tryCatch( readLines(tempfile(), warn = FALSE)[1], error = function(e) NA, warning = function(w) NA ) rm(list=ls(all.names = TRUE)) gc() showConnections(all = TRUE) If you run it, you'll get a connection you cannot close(), i.e. the last showConnections() call prints: ?

Hi all, I am trying to create a function that will open connections to all files of one type within the working directory. I've got the function to open the connections, but I am having a bugger of a time trying to get these connections named as objects in the workspace. I am at the point where I can do it outside of the function, but not inside, using assign. I'm sure I'm

Dear all, Did this problem that was posted in 2006 (see below) ever got fully resolved ? I am encountering the exact same issue ; I have executed get.hist.quote() in a loop and now R not only refuses to establish any further connections to yahoo, but, worse, it will not open any files either. For example, I cannot even save my current workspace for that reason. I tried closeAllConnections() As

SUMMARY: I'm proposing that R assert that 'connection' options have not changed since first created such that R will produce the following error: > fh <- file("a.txt", open = "w+") > cat("hello\n", file = fh) > close(fh) > fh2 <- file("b.txt", open = "w+") > cat("world\n", file = fh2) >

Hello yet again, R People: I was working with Ryacas and yacas last night and all was well. Now this morning, I keep getting the following: > a <- Sym("a") > a Error in summary.connection(x) : invalid connection > When I go to yacas from the command line, it works fine.

Hi, I am making multiple calls to gzfile() via read.table(), e.g. > x <- read.table( gzfile( "xxx.gz" ) ) After i do this many times (I haven't counted, but probably between 50 and 100 times) I get the error message: Error in open.connection(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open compressed file 'xxx.gz' however, I
