Motus R package update

[Denis Lepage]

Hello Motus,

 

We released last week a new version of the Motus R package that may introduce a breaking change to your scripts. We changed one of the package used to connect to the local motus database files (SQLite).

 

“Changed internal method for loading SQLite databases. Now uses standard method with DBI::dbConnect(). Previously, users applying DBI functions to databases loaded with tagme() had to use the $con sub-element of the connection. $con should no longer be used (it will result in an error).”

 

For instance, if you are using:

 

tags <- tagme(projectID)

dbListTables(tags$con)

 

Then references to “tags$con” should now simply become “tags”.

 

tags <- tagme(projectID)

dbListTables(tags)

 

Sincerely

Denis Lepage
