region error in s3$download_file about paws

[DyfanJones]

Hi all, sorry about the wait. We have now setup paws on r-universe so you should be able to access to all development versions before they are released to the cran.

To pick up the latest download_file please install paws.storage from r-universe:

# Enable repository from paws-r
options(repos = c(
  pawsr = 'https://paws-r.r-universe.dev',
  CRAN = 'https://cloud.r-project.org')
)

# Download and install paws in R
install.packages('paws.storage')

Closing this ticket due to paws.storage 0.2.0 has been released to the cran.

Hi @y-fischer sorry about that, it is fairly interesting. I believe it is upset due to the custom function. I will have a look into this. In the meantime you can set your .aws/config file to hold you aws region i.e:

[default]
region=us-east-1
output=json

@y-fischer found the issue, it is down to how the current custom method download_file has been created. In short it calls the get_config function which checks it's parent frame for the config. However, as it has been wrapped, the parent frame doesn't contain a config so it creates a new one and causes this bug.

There is already a fix for this in paws v-0.2.0 which is currently be worked on. For the time being you can use the work around by setting the config file for aws with the region set.

Thanks for the great package!

@DyfanJones somehow the solution with the config is not working for me. I guess I have to wait for paws v-0.2.0.
Is there a timeline when paws v-0.2.0 will be released?
