MODIS package's runGdal() returns error: dataFormat='GTiff', format not supported

Hi Hakim,

Interesting and unexpected as I am on a linux box but I have the same
problem, or I can reproduce your's:

Hmmmm. More digging. Sorry to not be helpful to this point.

Hi Alex,

The OS is a 64 bit Windows 7 as specified in the sessionInfo() output I
posted. When I upgraded QGIS, I did so by uninstalling the previous one and
reinstalling the new version. I'm not quite sure what it means to upgrade
GDAL since I installed it fresh with OSGeo4W. In R, I reinstall all the
packages I need fresh off the repository using the install.views command.

gdalDrivers() produces the output that's attached.

Cheers,

Hakim

What operating system?
When you upgraded QGIS did you also upgrade GDAL?
When you upgraded R, did you update your packages (or rebuild any
packages)?

What do you get from the following command?
gdalDrivers()

Thanks,
Alex

Hello everyone,

I'm having problems with the MODIS package, specifically, the runGdal()
command after the recent update to R 3.2.5. The error I get is this:

Error in runGdal(product = product, begin = dates$beginDOY, end =
dates$endDOY, : in argument dataFormat='GTiff', format not supported by
GDAL type: 'gdalWriteDriver()' (column 'name') to list available inputs

I'm not quite sure why this is happening, and I haven't found a

solution

online. Does anyone have an idea? The package was working fine before I
upgraded R from 3.1.1. to 3.2.5, QGIS from 2.12.3 to 2.14.1 and

RStudio to

version 0.99.467.

My details are below, thanks for the assistance:
