Hi there,

I'm not certain if this is the correct list where to post this question, or if it ought to be on the R developper one... I am trying to use theRGoogleDocspackage to import into R the spreadsheets on my Google docs account. I downloaded the latest package (0.2.0) and installed it. I can get a connection going, but it seems that I can only get a doc one...

This is the correct list. And it is best to email the author of the
package first.

Here is the code I am using:

library(RGoogleDocs)

auth = getGoogleAuth("loginName", "psswrd", service="wise")

sheets.con = getGoogleDocsConnection(auth)

a <- getDocs(sheets.con) ?

I get the following error:

Error in checkSlotAssignment(object, name, value) :
? assignment of an object of class "NULL" is not valid for slot "access" in an object of class "GoogleSpreadsheet"; is(value, "character") is not TRUE

This turns out to be a simple case of the feedLink/access information
not always being present in the resulting ?XML returned via the query.

A new version of the package is on the Omegahat repository that fixes
this. ?Thanks for pointing it out.

? D.

If i change the service to "writely", I get the full listing of the google docs and cannot import a spreadsheet due to the fact that the sheets.con is of the wrong class.

Any help would be appreciated ! I am running under Ubunto 8.10 if that can help...

Thanks.

Robert
