Error: CCTZ: Unrecognized output timezone #1041

danielvartan · 2022-05-09T19:37:16Z

Hi,

I'm getting the error below.

lubridate::force_tz(
    time = lubridate::ymd_hms("2020-01-01 01:00:00 UTC"),
    tzone = "America/New_York"
    )
#> Error: CCTZ: Unrecognized output timezone: "America/New_York"

It works fine when I use tzone = "UTC".

lubridate::force_tz(
    time = lubridate::ymd_hms("2020-01-01 01:00:00 UTC"),
    tzone = "UTC"
    )
#> [1] "2020-01-01 01:00:00 UTC"

Your tzdir is not set correctly for some reason. On windows tzinfo database is shipped with R. See the output lubridate:::tzdir_get() and try resetting with lubridate:::tzdir_set().

danielvartan · 2022-05-10T17:35:43Z

Hi @vspinu ,

Everything is working as it should today... I installed R 4.2.0 yesterday, maybe it need a system restart to work properly.

shannonpileggi · 2022-05-12T23:20:55Z

I am having the same issue as reported above, except mine has not resolved with computer / software restarts.

This error is prohibiting my from using {distill} under R 4.2.0. Any suggestions on how to resolve would be much appreciated!

In my console, in fresh instance of R not within a project, I get a few errors:

This is strange. No idea. Could you check that zoneinfo does indeed exist at "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-42~1.0/share/zoneinfo". That path is suspicious. If not locate the zoneinfo and set it explicitly with Sys.setenv(TZDIR = "path/to/zoneinfo")

danielvartan · 2022-05-13T07:16:23Z

... and when I run the same in a reprex I get no errors: ... @shannonpileggi

The same was happening with me.

shannonpileggi · 2022-05-13T13:01:06Z

Thank you @vspinu! I am not sure what I am looking for in the zoneinfo.

I can confirm that folder zoneinfo exists at C:\Program Files\R\R-4.2.0\share\zoneinfo, with many sub folders and files.

Is there a specific file I am looking for in here? Or is this correct?

vspinu · 2022-05-14T23:21:20Z

You just have to set it as your TZDIR env variable as I mentioned in my last post. It should work from inside an R session. You can also try setting it up before starting R.

shannonpileggi · 2022-05-16T14:18:54Z

Thank you very much for your reply! I have tried:

Restarting R, executing Sys.setenv(TZDIR = "C:/Program Files/R/R-4.2.0/share/zoneinfo")
Setting TZDIR = "C:/Program Files/R/R-4.2.0/share/zoneinfo" in my .Renviron, restarted my computer.

and the results are still the same with the error below in the console but no error in the reprex.

+     time = lubridate::ymd_hms("2020-01-01 01:00:00 UTC"),
+     tzone = "America/New_York"
+ )
Error: CCTZ: Unrecognized output timezone: "America/New_York"

Did I correctly execute your suggestions? Do you have any further suggestions for troubleshooting?

vspinu · 2022-05-17T14:03:39Z

Yes. This is correct. The behavior is puzzling. It's hard to say without debugging locally. CCTZ library which does the time zone loading doesn't expose the actual loading error.

DavisVaughan · 2022-05-24T15:39:54Z

@shannonpileggi, can you confirm that it works if you switch back to R 4.1.3, but then stops working once you switch to R 4.2.0 again?

If you don't have that version of R, you can get it from https://cloud.r-project.org

Download R for Windows -> base -> Previous releases -> R 4.1.3 -> R-4.1.3-win.exe

I think this is also a direct link to download it
https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/4.1.3/R-4.1.3-win.exe

Once you install it, you may have to tell RStudio to use it. You can go to Tools -> Global Options -> General and then you should have a menu available to change R versions https://community.rstudio.com/t/use-a-different-r-version-temporarily-in-rstudio/20848/2?u=davis

shannonpileggi · 2022-05-25T02:07:55Z

Hi @DavisVaughan - thank you for following up! Yes, this is confirmed.

4.1.3

Both in the console and in the reprex, under 4.1.3 there are no errors.

If you open a fresh instance of RStudio what does the following return for you?

Sys.getenv("TZDIR")
library(lubridate)
Sys.getenv("TZDIR")

It is important to make sure you are in a fresh rstudio session, lubridate should not be loaded when you call Sys.getenv("TZDIR") the first time

shannonpileggi · 2022-05-27T12:01:14Z

Here you go!

bwelman · 2022-06-02T10:01:31Z

I have the same problem as Shannon with distill 1.4 under R 4.2.0 (Windows, lubridate 1.8.0).

R 4.2.0

> lubridate:::tzdir_get()
[1] "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-4.2.0/share/zoneinfo"

> lubridate::mdy("05/11/2022", tz ="Europe/Berlin")
Error: CCTZ: Unrecognized output timezone: "Europe/Berlin"

Same error with force_tz(...)

No error with

> callr::r(function() lubridate::mdy("05/11/2022", tz ="Europe/Berlin"))
[1] "2022-05-11 CEST"

I also checked that my zoneinfo exists in C:\Program Files\R\R-4.2.0\share\zoneinfo\Europe\

And no errors when I switch back to R 4.1.3

R 4.1.3

> lubridate::mdy("05/11/2022", tz ="Europe/Berlin")
[1] "2022-05-11 CEST"

cderv · 2022-06-02T10:05:00Z

@bwelman as you get no error using callr, I am wondering: do the other tests without it are all inside RStudio IDE ?

Do you get an error with R 4.2.0 in R console only ?

bwelman · 2022-06-02T10:20:27Z

I did all tests inside RStudio IDE.
Now with R console: same error with R 4.2.0 and no error with R 4.1.3

cderv · 2022-06-02T12:16:39Z

Now with R console: same error with R 4.2.0 and no error with R 4.1.3

Thanks - I was trying to see if somehow this could be linked to RStudio IDE. But it seems not.
I am not sure though how this works

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

and this does not

lubridate::mdy("05/11/2022", tz ="Europe/Berlin")

This bug is puzzling...

Alternikaner · 2022-06-06T04:19:30Z

I gave more detail in the issue I reported on the odbc side (see mention above) but an error message I got hints to the issue being an unwanted reset/default of the timezone lookup to a Linux path, namely "/usr/share/zoneinfo"

DavisVaughan · 2022-06-08T13:39:57Z

Okay. I am fairly confident I have figured this out.

TLDR

You are using R 4.2.0 but have a lubridate built with R 4.1.3. Using packages built with different minor versions of R is NOT supported by R, and is likely to break in a variety of ways. Just run install.packages("lubridate") then restart R and you should get an updated version of lubridate that has been built with R 4.2.0. You can check by calling library(lubridate) and then sessioninfo::session_info(pkgs = "lubridate"), which should show (R 4.2.0) under the source column for lubridate.

The problem

I was able to reproduce this locally on my Windows machine by:

Using R 4.2.0
Downloading the lubridate zip file from CRAN for the r-oldrel release, which corresponds to R 4.1.3 at the current moment https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/lubridate/index.html
Manually installing lubridate by putting the contents of the zip file into my lib path, shown by the first entry of .libPaths()
Opening RStudio and running:

lubridate::force_tz(as.POSIXct("2019-01-01", "UTC"), "America/Chicago")
#> Error: CCTZ: Unrecognized output timezone: "America/Chicago"

Here is my session info, which notably shows that I am on R 4.2.0, but have lubridate from R 4.1.3

Trying to use packages built with different minor versions of R (i.e. 4.1 -> 4.2) is NOT supported by R, and is likely to break a lot of your packages, especially those with compiled code like lubridate.

I'm not really sure how you got in this scenario, maybe you copied your package library over using the Windows file explorer? I tried using install.packages() to install the zip file with the version of lubridate built with R 4.1.3 and it actually refused to install it because it was built with a different version of R. So it seems like the only way to put yourself in this scenario is to copy all of your packages over manually outside of R.

The solution is to just update lubridate, i.e. install.packages("lubridate") plus a restart of R should fix it by giving you a correct version of lubridate built with R 4.2.0.

I would suggest updating all of your packages to ensure they are all built with R 4.2.0, otherwise you are likely to have more confusing problems or crashes of R in the future.

shannonpileggi · 2022-06-08T14:50:09Z

Thank you very much, @DavisVaughan! Yes, I must have done something silly when I upgraded to 4.2.0. The issue is now resolved.

I really appreciate the follow up and your time to get the bottom of this, especially as it is an error on me.

DavisVaughan · 2022-06-08T14:52:31Z

@shannonpileggi did you happen to use installr when you upgraded?

shannonpileggi · 2022-06-08T15:13:01Z

Yes

DavisVaughan · 2022-06-08T15:24:40Z

That's what I figured. installr will copy over the old package library when you run installr::updateR() if you say yes to this prompt https://github.com/talgalili/installr/blob/eb2bdc3a175718850fd33c4abbcefa1f905d2f4f/R/updateR.R#L805-L813

I think that it shouldn't do that, because it can cause issues like yours, so I'm trying to get them to change it talgalili/installr#172

You didn't do anything wrong here

Since this seems to be resolved, I'm going to close this issue

bwelman · 2022-06-08T15:30:25Z

Also for me the problem is solved. My lubridate 1.8.0 was build with R 4.1.1.
Thanks. I learned again something about how to perform an R upgrade.

phargarten2 · 2022-06-22T13:33:11Z

Indeed, this solves the problem. An easy way to update all packages is to use: update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE, ask = FALSE)
