Package cannot be installed anymore after latest update about r-exasol HOT 2 CLOSED

@kondofersky
please inform which platform, R version, and most important, which version of devtools you are using.

I just tested the latest version on an Ubuntu 18.04 with R 4.1 and devtools 2.4.3.

I suspect the problem you are describing is caused by an older version of devtools. Background is that we renamed the default branch of r-exasol, some time ago, it's not master, but main now. It seems your version of devtools does not verify the default branch of the repository, and tries to pull master.

As a workaround you can install the latest version with:

devtools::install_github("EXASOL/r-exasol", ref = "main")

from r-exasol.

Hi @tomuben and thanks for the fast reply. Your workaraound did work for me.

I am working on Ubuntu 20.04 with R 4.0.0 and devtools version is 2.3.0. Did not test if it installs automatically (without ref = "main") with an updated devtools package but it would be strange if this is not the case.

Thanks again!
