I'm trying to install qdap package in Azure ML. Rest of the dependent packages get installed without any issues. When it comes to qdapTools, I get this error , though the version that I try to install is 1.3.1 ( Verified this from the Decription file that comes with the R package)

package 'qdapTools' 1.1.0 was found, but >= 1.3.1 is required by 'qdap

The code in "Execute R Script" :

install.packages("src/qdapTools.zip", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/magrittr.zip", lib = ".", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/stringi.zip", lib = ".", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/stringr.zip", lib = ".", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/qdapDictionaries.zip", lib = ".", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/qdapRegex.zip", lib = ".", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/RColorBrewer.zip", lib = ".", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/qdap.zip", lib = ".", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)

library(stringr, lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(qdap, lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)

And the log :

Editing the code to :

install.packages("src/qdapRegex.zip", lib = ".", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/RColorBrewer.zip", lib = ".", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
install.packages("src/qdap.zip", lib = ".", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
library(qdapTools, lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)
library(qdap, lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)

throws the following error :-

[ModuleOutput]

Not sure how to proceed, can someone help please.

Thanks!

  • Have you tried to install it from CRAN or from .zip file? Perhaps the second approach will help you. Download the zip-file from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.4/qdapTools_1.3.1.zip and then install it again. This is just a pure guess ... – J_F Sep 14 '16 at 08:44
  • @J_F - I did just that , downloaded the file from CRAN , added it to my zip and tried to install it. It didn't work. – Indi Sep 14 '16 at 09:01

    What code are you using in your Execute R Script to install the package? If you just do library(qdapTools) it will try to access its local installation (which may be out of date). If you want to install from your zipfile, you need to wrap the CRAN zip file in another zip file, hook it up to your module and then install it using `install.packages("src/qdapTools.zip", lib = ".", repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE)` before calling `library(baselineforecast, lib.loc=".")` to load the library. – Barker Sep 16 '16 at 23:38
  • @Barker - pretty much what I AM doing right now, doesnt help. – Indi Sep 19 '16 at 11:23
  • Could you please copy and paste the actual code you are using to install the the package in your "Execute R Script" so I can tell if there is a problem there? Could you also copy and pasts your error log and output log? A snapshot of your experiment to be sure it is set up right wouldn't hurt either. Also, AML has the "livechat" service to support these kinds of errors which may be more helpful for you. – Barker Sep 19 '16 at 22:20

  • @user5249203 - I'm aware of the way to upload a new package to an Azure ML experiment. The issue here is specific to qdapTools on which qdap has a dependency. Details are in the question posted. – Indi Sep 23 '16 at 05:26
  • Newer versions of packages are not always backward compatible with older versions of R. You may need to go into the archives and find an older version of `qdapTools`. – Barker Sep 30 '16 at 00:44

This is kind of a shot in the dark, since I don't know the specifics of your system, but it could be that qdapTools 1.3.1 does not get installed to the location of the other packages, since the location specification also is missing from the first line of "Execute R Script" part where qdapTools gets installed:

lib="."

Which could result in R loading an older version of qdapTools (did you have an older version installed before?) that lies somewhere else.

  • Updated it to install.packages("src/qdapTools.zip",lib="." , repos = NULL, verbose = TRUE) Still the same error. Created a new experiment , installed the newer version only, still doesnt work – Indi Sep 22 '16 at 07:06
  • This might be only a workaround, but what happens if you execute `library(qdapTools, lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)` before `library(stringr, lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE) library(qdap, lib.loc=".", verbose=TRUE)` ? – Kirex Sep 22 '16 at 07:31
  • Ok , I tried that too . I get the error [ModuleOutput] 4: package 'qdapTools' was built under R version 3.3.1 [ModuleOutput] [ModuleOutput] End R Execution: 9/22/2016 7:11:05 AM [Stop] DllModuleMethod::Execute.

  • hm, what R version do you run? This should work if you install a new R version >= 3.3.1. I don't know how exactly you'd do that with Azure ML, but if you leave the script the way it is and install a new R this should hopefully work. – Kirex Sep 22 '16 at 07:46
  • Azure ML currently provides - CRAN R 3.1.0 and Microsoft R Open 3.2.2 . If what you say is true ,then I can't use qdap for now. – Indi Sep 23 '16 at 05:31
