R 4.2.0 + distill? Error: CCTZ: Unrecognized output timezone

[shannonpileggi]

I recently updated to R 4.2.0 on my Windows 10 OS, and it was a bit of a bumpy installation with some edges to smooth out.

I created a new branch in my distill site and initialized a new draft post, which you can see here:
shannonpileggi/pipinghotdata_distill#30

Then I went to Build -> Build Website and I get the error:

==> rmarkdown::render_site(encoding = 'UTF-8')

Error: CCTZ: Unrecognized output timezone: "America/New_York"
Execution halted

Exited with status 1.

and I think I vaguely recall seeing some trouble with timezones earlier in the 4.2.0 installation.

Is this a me thing? Is this a distill thing? I'm generally unsure of whether to ask this on RStudio Community or in an issue as I suspect it could be due to a bug, but I am not confident. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

🤔 I am using Windows 10 too and I don't have any issues.

Possibly related to tidyverse/lubridate#1041

Can you run this to see if it errors ?

lubridate:::tzdir_get()

lubridate::mdy("05/11/2022", tz ="America/New_York")

lubridate::force_tz(
    time = lubridate::ymd_hms("2020-01-01 01:00:00 UTC"),
    tzone = "America/New_York"
    )

It seems like it fixes itself for the issue linked. did you restart your computer between R 4.2 install and having this issue ?

[shannonpileggi]

Thank you for finding that issue, @cderv! And yes, I have restarted both my computer and R several times, but always good to check!

Well this is... something.

When I submit to console, I am getting the same errors as shown in the issue. And then when I reprexed.... no error??

I also executed lubridate:::tzdir_set(), restarted R, and re-ran the console commands and had the same result with errors.

Do you know what my next steps are? Or should I follow up on the lubridate issue instead? I am on lubridate 1.8.0.

[cderv]

As you have issue in R console with lubridate in your new installation, I would probably report with them.

Not sure why this does not work for you. I have the same dir

> lubridate:::tzdir_get()
[1] "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-42~1.0/share/zoneinfo"

And then when I reprexed.... no error??

Reprex is executing by default in a new session. Can you try outside of your distill project just in case ? in a fresh R session ?

You can also check using callr

callr::r(function() lubridate::mdy("05/11/2022", tz ="America/New_York"))

but it may inherits some configuration from you R environment.

[shannonpileggi]

Thank you, @cderv! I have added to the lubridate issue.

[shannonpileggi]

The issue is reolved - thank you everyone.

tidyverse/lubridate#1041 (comment)

[cderv]

This issue is definitely showing how important session information really. sessioninfo::session_info() shared in your first post above showed us the problem... Windows & "Current R version" mismatch with "Package built R version" on the minor version. Should have been a flagged 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for sharing this : I'll definitely remember this and check that in the future!
