Crash at Install dependencies stage during Build about cc21 HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for everything! I dealt with problems with other chapters last night.

from cc21.

Can you remember which rmd file uses this package?

The issue here is that rJava is hard to install on Ubuntu, which is the OS that GitHub Actions is using. That is the reason I didn't include qdap before... sorry I forgot to mention that. I'll try to figure out how to do it. In the meantime, just set the code chunks that use qdap to eval=FALSE and put in a comment in those chunks explaining the issue.

@jtr13 I was trying to figure out what was going with the latest error here.

https://github.com/jtr13/cc21/runs/2198706265?

In particular, this message:

Quitting from lines 145-151 (sentiment_analysis_and_wordcloud.Rmd) 
Error in menu(choices = c("Yes", "No"), title = title) : 
  menu() cannot be used non-interactively

The problem seems to be line 148. It derives from the fact that this line asks for user input.

Okay, I tried to replicate it in RStudio. It doesn't run as a rmd file. But I was able to run it as a simple R file.

The problem comes from the fact that in the following code block, this code get_sentiments('nrc') attempts to download a large data file but requires a user confirmation. This requirement for user input probably won't work here.

videogame %>%
  select(id,review) %>%
  unnest_tokens(output = word, input = review) %>%
  inner_join(get_sentiments('nrc')) %>%
  group_by(sentiment) %>%
    count()

I think we should ask the submitter to either leave this part out or load the file in a different way that does not require manual user activity.

Exactly. Since the chapter was already merged I figured it was on us to fix it. I just added a note to the chapter and added eval=FALSE to the the two code chunks that use nrc. Often there's a way around these things but they are very explicit that they don't want to allow non-interactive downloads of the lexicons due to licensing issues: EmilHvitfeldt/textdata#19

I was able (finally) to get rJava to work by adding

          sudo apt install \
            default-jre \
            default-jdk 
          sudo R CMD javareconf  

to the GitHub Actions .yaml file.

Now it's failing due to problems with other chapters.
