Shiny - import error after taxa translate about bcgcalc HOT 8 CLOSED

Related to BCG_ATTR and complex vs. character vs. numeric class.

The statement on line 214 is failing.

from bcgcalc.

Resolved by using the specific name. Naming all the columns could sometimes lead to other logical fields not working properly. (In this case it was Noteworthy column causing issues).

from bcgcalc.

Complex numbers in BCG_ATTR and/or Noteworthy column causing issues on import in Merge Files section.

from bcgcalc.

Modify server files in MERGE FILES section so only BCG_ATTR gets a new class and leaves other columns as is.

from bcgcalc.

colClasses = c(foo = "character")

foo not being evaluated and combinations of get, eval, and parse aren't helping.

Go back to specifying all classes. use in regular import and Merge Files sections.

May have issues with other columns if all blank (come in a logical). for example, the previous issue with the NOTEWORTHY column.

from bcgcalc.

Believe have a permanent fix.

It was the complex number thing so have to specify the name and class of the field. Can't do the name of the field with a variable.

Try 1 = I had several permutations of BCG_ATTR specified but it didn't cover all files. Also produced warning in console of not all columns specified existed. Invisible to user in Shiny so ok.

Try 2 = specify class of all columns. This messed up the Noteworthy column. Not sure why but it did.

Try 3 = some kind of hybrid but using a variable name for BCG_ATTR didn't work.

Try 4 = (This final one). Use the specify class vector but only for the BCG_ATTR column. Seems to work in all spellings of BCG_ATTR and doesn't affect any other columns. 😊

Along with the above have several IF/THEN on how to handle the file import based on the BCG_ATTR column

• Not present in the file
• BCG_ATTR is present but not a complex classs (i.e., all blank or all numbers, not 'i' values).
• BCG_ATTR is present and is complex. This last case is where all the trouble happens and led to all the tries above.

Fix applied to master import and merge file imports in Server.R.
