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 >

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

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

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

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

unlink fails to remove symbolic links. This is more prominent now -- when a package creates symbolic links during installation, 00LOCK is not removed.

Hello, I'm working with a package that uses download.file in functions to extract information from remote databases. My current environment is Windows XP Pro SP3, R 2.7. A full extraction can be a great deal of data, so the download is accomplished in generally manageable packets, such that a single download will result in many files, which are written to a directory. It is not uncommon for a

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
