Are there short-term plans to bring it back? :)

[maelle]

:wave: @tpaskhalis, do you need any help?

[tpaskhalis]

The release of Java 17 caused some issues in the way R interacts with it through rJava. More specifically from Brian Ripley's email:

On the most common form of failure (all but jsr223, also seen in rJava),
Simon Urbanek writes

"There was a major change in JDK-17 that now disallows reflection to use
non-public access.  In short rJava can no longer pretend it is part of a
class when accessing methods/fields which allowed us to call methods
without explicitly subclassing a class.  This may have serious
repercussions, because code that could be before written in R now has to
be written in Java, compiled and then called from R."

It's not the best of timing for me, as it all occurred at the beginning of a new teaching semester. And also my Java is not that strong, so it will take me some time to figure this issue. But it's definitely fixable. If anybody wants to take a shot at pull request, I'd be more than happy.

@maelle, thanks, yes, I'd be happy with any help on this issue. But it's certainly on my to-do list, if nobody else attends to it. Seems like it still works with GH installation for some people.

[maelle]

@tpaskhalis Thanks for your answer! As it's not something I would personally be able to help with, I've added the "help wanted" label (we're working on making such issues more easily discoverable cc @steffilazerte), and have posted in rOpenSci slack package-maintenance channel.

[DavidPerea]

So right now there is no way to use it, right?

As I am a novice user, I don't know a lot about programming to help, but a lot of encouragement!

@DavidPerea You can install it from GitHub, which should work: remotes::install_github("ropensci/tabulizer").

Before installing "tabulizer", I see that I must first have 'tabulizerjars' installed. But I get the following error when using this command: remotes :: install_github ("ropensci / tabulizerjars")

How is it solved?

[tpaskhalis]

@DavidPerea make sure that you can install and load rJava before installing tabulizerjars.

Solved, thank you very much!

Hi, I'm in same boat. Would like to use this package, but the remotes :: install_github ("ropensci / tabulizerjars") fails like this:

remotes::install_github("ropensci/tabulizer") Downloading GitHub repo ropensci/tabulizer@HEAD Skipping 1 packages not available: tabulizerjars ✓ checking for file ‘/private/var/folders/55/2g40bwx56rvg3bnchwhvqkdr0000gn/T/Rtmp3jLMsJ/remotes6afbece498f/ropensci-tabulizer-9f45f91/DESCRIPTION’ ... ─ preparing ‘tabulizer’: ✓ checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ─ checking for LF line-endings in source and make files and shell scripts ─ checking for empty or unneeded directories Removed empty directory ‘tabulizer/docs’ ─ building ‘tabulizer_0.2.2.tar.gz’

rJava is installed and loaded - and I don't get any obvious errors from it.

This is a Mac. Happy to move to a PC/Ubuntu if that is an easier path.

Any clues? Really, really could use this package right now!

thanks,

[budall]

I got this working. It was simple.

You need this:

remotes::install_github(c("ropensci/tabulizerjars", "ropensci/tabulizer")

[ddkapan]

For macOS >= to Catalina, it won’t work b/c the relevant legacy Java runtime (SE 6) is not compatible, downgrade OS, switch OS systems or find an alternative application.

Hi!

@DavidPerea You can install it from GitHub, which should work: remotes::install_github("ropensci/tabulizer").

I tried this but I had this error

Downloading GitHub repo ropensci/tabulizer@HEAD Error: Failed to install 'tabulizer' from GitHub: invalid octal digit

Help, please! i need tu use this package

[pat-s]

@araceliramirezg This seems to be a separate issue of your local R installation. I suggest to open a new issue and provide more information on your local R installation. You might use the reprex package to provide this information.

@pat-s I tried it again and i have this message:

Help:(

[AQLT]

The problem with Java 17 seems to come from the use of the $ operator that uses reflection. It seems that the issue can be solved with some minor changes in the code (PR #146).

[jbryer]

Any update on accepting @AQLT pull request?

[maelle]

:wave: @tpaskhalis, is any help needed? I also emailed you but imagine you're busy!

[pat-s]

Maybe @leeper has time to help here and eventually merge #146?

Otherwise summoning the swiss-knife @jeroen as he did the last commit in the history.

[maelle]

#148 :smile_cat:
