Hi all, I saw a quite surprising result in the devel R when using the function *normalizePath*. If the input is a path to a folder, the function returns an absolute path with/without a slash at the end depending on the existence of the folder. I know both results are valid on Windows but this behavior is different than R3.6, I do not know if the change in the devel version is made on purpose.

I'm having an issue with occasionally slow-running calls to normalizePath. If the path is a non-existent UNC path, then normalizePath sometimes takes 6 or 7 seconds to run, rather than its usual few microseconds. My big problem is that I can't reliably reproduce this across machines. The example below generates one or two slow runs out of 10000 on my Windows machine. I haven't been

Dear all, I'm not sure whether this is intended behaviour or a bug. The path returns from normalizePath is different when the directory doesn't exist. I have included a reproducible example. path <- tempfile() missing.dir <- normalizePath(path, winslash = "/", mustWork = FALSE) dir.create(path) existing.dir <- normalizePath(path, winslash = "/", mustWork =

(I reported the test failure mentioned below to R-help but was advised that this list is the right one to address the issue; in the meantime I investigated the matter somewhat more closely, including searching recent R-devel postings, since I haven't been following this list.) Last May there were two reports here of problems with Sys.timezone, one where the zoneinfo directory is in a

Hi Tomas, There has been an R CMD check error with xfun and r-devel on Windows for a while: https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-windows-x86_64/xfun-00check.html Basically it means that the following would return TRUE before: normalizePath('a/b', mustWork = FALSE) == normalizePath('./a/b', mustWork = FALSE) but it became FALSE at some point in r-devel. I think

Hi- I just upgraded R to 3.0.0 from 2.15.1 (which worked fine). When I started trying to install updated versions of the libraries, I saw the following error: > install.packages("lme4") Installing package into 'c:/Docume~1/melissa/R/win-library/3.0' (as 'lib' is unspecified) Warning in install.packages :

I confirmed the revert fixed my failing test.

Hi all, I have just installed R 2.13.0 and I am experiencing problems with the terminal, but not the with the GUI interface. I am Windows 7. When running "R" or "Rterm" from a commandline I receive the following: Warning message: In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) : path[3]="C:/Programmer/R/R-2.13.0/library": Adgang n?gtet R version 2.13.0

According to the manual, the `stdout` argument of the `system2` function can redirect output to a file. This seems to work on unix, however I can't get it to work on windows. The toy example below, no `out.txt` or `err.txt` files are created. I tried sending it to an existing file, or expand the full file path, but with no success: setwd(tempdir()) system2("whoami",

Hello all, Currently, the default behavior for system.file() is to return "" for faulty paths. I've found this behavior to be difficult when debugging, since it passes the empty path onto other functions. I initially wrote in errors myself (with code like `if(path == "") stop(?Path not found?)`), but I now use mustWork=TRUE or fs::path_package(), which errors by default.

Hello, I discovered a bug or undocumented behavior in normalizePath steps to reproduce: execute normalizePath on a folder link on windows. When you are on a non-english windows box, you likely have links in place for windows' default folders, e.g. "C:\Programme" linking to "C:\Program Files" on german windows boxes. Thus executing

This request stems off a bug report I posted https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17757 where it was determined the current behaviour is as expected. To recap: when given a real file, normalizePath() always* returns the full absolute path. When given a non-existent file, normalizePath() returns a full path on Windows but it returns the input on other systems*. I'd argue that

Hi, I have a couple of new errors in our package when I check it on R 2.13-rc (r55310). The first one that's mystifying me is * checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE Error : object normalizePath is not exported by 'namespace:utils' Error : object normalizePath is not exported by 'namespace:utils' Firstly, it's strange to see NOTE and Error being used

Hello, sorry for not being clear enough. My problem is represented with the following code, running on OSX: mkdir ~/test ln -s ~/test ~/testlink touch ~/test/foo Rscript -e 'Sys.readlink(c("~/test/foo", "~/testlink/foo")); normalizePath(c("~/test/foo","~/testlink/foo"))' I expected `Sys.readlink` to show the same output as `normalizePath`. Also,

Windows XP. I have just updated to R 2.11.0 and then run update.packages. In the series of updates, a few will succeed, then I get a failure like package 'mvtnorm' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked package 'party' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked package 'PBSmodelling' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Error in normalizePath(path) :
