gs_ls() gives error message and restart r session

[henda52]

I use a script that worked fine last week but now it doesn't, see comments below. I use the following code:

library(googlesheets) #gives no error message
gs_ls() #gives the following error message before it eventually restarts the R session

Error in is_atomic(x) && is_scalar_atomic(y) :
evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)?

I've restarted both R and the computer without any improvment. Any other suggestions on what to test?

Well, the immediate error is coming from functions in rlang, but that doesn't mean it's the culprit.

googlesheets has grown very long in the tooth and I am focusing attention on its successor(s): googledrive (already on CRAN) and googlesheets4 (still GitHub only, still read only). It's definitely in maintenance/archive mode.

I'd advise switching to those packages for everything possible. For example, for listing your Sheets, a better approach than gs_ls() would be drive_find(type = "spreadsheet"). That will give you file names or IDs, which you could use in whatever comes next. Sorry we are in an awkward state at the moment.

Thank you!

This affects me too. I'm happy you're combining these two packages it really was annoying to have to remember which one came from where.
