error due to R update

[marinebnt]

Hi,

The following error : Error in validate_key(key) : could not find function "validate_key" appears when I try to use the functions species() or species_list() with the latest R version (4.2.2). I have tried to run the same code with the former R version (4.2.1) and it runs correctly. I am using the version 4.1.1 of rfishbase.

Many thanks

@marinebnt thanks for the report and apologies for the trouble.

Can you provide the output of running sessionInfo() in R after you see this error? It might be worth checking that all package dependencies are also up-to-date, e.g. remotes::install_github("ropensci/rfishbase"), and select update all package dependencies at the prompt.

Also, just a note that currently, the latest version of R is actually 4.3.0.

Good news, the error disappears with the R version 4.3.0, sorry for the bother.
With R version 4.2.2 :
Even after doing remotes::install_github("ropensci/rfishbase") the error remains. Here are my session info :
