Overview

About

Maintained by Aaron WolenCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

An interface for interacting with 'OSF' (https://osf.io). 'osfr' enables you to access open research materials and data, or create and manage your own private or public projects.

Changes in 0.2.9

Minor changes

tibble v3.0.0 is now the minimum required version

Fixes

Fixed bug preventing uploads directly to OSF directories that contained conflicting files (#121, #129)
Fixed pkgdown site build (#147)
Fixed downloading of files via GUIDs (#141, thanks @psanker)

Build and test infrastructure

Unit tests for single file uploads, html encoding, and basic node mechanics are now mocked with vcr (#145)
GitHub Actions is now used for continuous integration (#146)
brio is now used in tests for writing text to files so \n is used for line endings on Windows. This produces files with identical sizes on all platforms allowing vcr to match requests that include file sizes in the body (#146).

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("osfr", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ropensci/osfr")

Development version from ropensci/osfr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-osfr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-osfr

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-osfr

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
