Trying to load tidyverse package and get it to run

[cendres]

I am trying to run an R script that uses data from an oracle table. I have ROracle installed and it appears to be working. When the script tries to load the library(tidyverse), I get this error

#Loading the libraries I need

library(ROracle)
library(tidyverse)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
there is no package called ‘rlang’

I then install.packages("rlang") and run the script again and get this error
#Loading the libraries I need

library(ROracle)
library(tidyverse)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘hms’

So I then install.packages("hms"). I run the script again, and get the first error again. And it keeps going in this cycle and I cannot get tidyverse to run.

Any help?!

Hi @cendres, welcome to the community!

It looks like you have some missing dependencies, possibly from a problem that didn't cause an error the first time you installed the tidyverse package. Can you try re-installing using install.pacakges("tidyverse", dependencies = TRUE)?

Hi Jim89,

No it did not work. The package loaded but I am still getting the same errors. Could it be something wrong with the PATH or the user environmental variable? or is that way off?

[jim89]

That seems unlikely, are you able to share the full output you get when you re-install? It's possible that the installation is not going wrong enough to cause a major error, but not installing everything you expect it to.

It won't let me share my whole script output. I cut out the "trying URL" lines hoping it will send. It keeps saying I can only share 2 links.

install.packages("tidyverse", dependencies = TRUE)
also installing the dependencies ‘ellipsis’, ‘processx’, ‘vctrs’, ‘callr’, ‘hms’, ‘reprex’, ‘rlang’


  There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
         binary  source needs_compilation
ellipsis  0.1.0 0.2.0.1              TRUE
processx  3.3.0   3.4.1              TRUE
vctrs     0.1.0   0.2.0              TRUE
callr     3.2.0   3.3.1             FALSE
hms       0.4.2   0.5.1             FALSE
reprex    0.2.1   0.3.0             FALSE
rlang     0.3.4   0.4.0              TRUE

Cannot install devtools, need to update processx version

I came across this same issue (and found this thread looking for a solution via Google-fu). Reinstall Rtools (from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/). As mentioned above, devtools was failing due to callr issues, which came from processx. I tried updating processx 3-4 times, but got a "WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:" error. Once I updated Rtools, everything worked fine.

Hi @cendres! If you format the output as code, then it won't trigger these anti-spam measures in the forum software. It's a good idea to always format your console output as code since it's more readable that way and avoids various other garbling that can occur. Here's how:
