Issue with using the package

[adamramey]

Hello - I've been trying to use the package on my Mac to no avail (both CRAN and GitHub repo versions). Usage of nearly all the functions fail for me.

For example, trying to run the example provided on the GitHub page:

warrens <- candidates_get_by_lastname( "warren", election_years = 2012 )

returns the following error:

Error inmap(): ℹ In index: 1. Caused by error in purrr::modify_depth(): ! List not deep enough

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi! Thanks for letting us know about the issue.

Would you mind printing your devtools::session_info()?

Potential fix for that issue you can install with devtools::install_github("decktools/votesmart", ref = "no-depth") but there might be other things that don't work depending on which versions of certain packages you have.

There's a new version of the package on CRAN now that should work with the latest version of dplyr. Let us know if that solves your issue!
