Import data file with accented characters in path

General
1

Hello,
When i use RStudio with R-3.4.3 i don't have problem to import data files with accented characters (in french) in the path.

When i upgrade to R-3.5.1 i have an error message : "Error in df_parse_sav_file" and i can't import the data.

Do you know how to solve this problem ?

Thank

I suspect this is due to a change in base R around the handling of path encoding. E.g.,

Are you in a position to install the development version of readr? That means you'll need a development environment, i.e. you'll need Rtools, which is not an R package but provides the tools necessary to build R packages from source on Windows:
