Error in file.rename...'from' and 'to' are of different lengths

[aditya banerjee]

Dear All,

While loading the background extent, I am getting the following error:

Error in file.rename(bgShp_path, file.path(pathdir, bgShp_name)) : 'from' and 'to' are of different lengths.

I ran the following code, closely following code obtained from exporting an Rmd of a Wallace GUI session:

bgPath_Pv <- "pathname"
bgExt_Pv <- penvs_userBgExtent(
bgShp_path = paste0(bgPath_Pv, "vector name", ".shp"),
  bgShp_name = paste0("vector name", c(".shp", ".shx", ".dbf")),
  userBgBuf = 0,
  occs = occs_Pv)

Could you tell me why I'm getting this error message?

First, make sure you are adding a slash ('/') at the end of the pathname to indicate its a folder location.
Example:
bgPath_Pv <- "/Users/name/Desktop/folder/Shapefiles/"

If, after this, you are seeing an error message regarding 'identicalCRS(x, y) is not TRUE' there may be a bug with the Rmd code and I can see about debugging. Let me know if you are also seeing that second error message, and to confirm it's only happening when running the Rmd, correct? and not in the GUI?
