ua-parser / uap-r

R implementation of ua-parser

uaparser

An implementation of tobie's ua-parser in R and C++

Author: Oliver Keyes and Alex Suhan
License: MIT

Installation

Install uaparser through:

devtools::install_github("ua-parser/uap-r")

Then place regexes.yaml from the uap-core repository in the installation directory. In the event that you don't complete this step, the uaparser will attempt to download the YAML file into a temporary directory when called, but this is less efficient and not workable for machines without a direct internet connection.

This package no longer works with the old (pre-0.5) version of the yaml-cpp library. You will need version 0.5 or later.

Dependencies

• R;
• Rcpp;
• C++11;
• downloader;
• The boost-regex C++ library;
• The boost-system C++ library;
• The libyaml-cpp C++ library, version 0.5 or later.

Contributing upstream

Both the library and the regex definitions welcome patches and reported issues! Just submit through GitHub and we'll do our best to merge or fix them promptly.

uap-r's Issues

Fails testing - Library not loaded: libboost_regex.dylib

I'm using OS X 10.11.3 (El Capitan) and calling R from the Terminal. libboost_regex.dylib exists in /usr/local/lib. All other dependencies are installed (I believe). Here's the output.

parse_agents crashes RStudio

I don't have much information beyond this. No errors get returned. No warnings. RStudio just crashes when I try to parse a vector of 1000 user agents. The CLI, however, works.

Problems installing it on rstudio (windows)

What happen?
I tryed to install ua-parser/uap-r and its being a madness.... my log:

uap-r fails to build with new YAML libraries

Greetings, when I go to install this package, I get:

internal_UaParser.cpp:54:23: error: no member named 'GetNextDocument' in 'YAML::Parser'
    CHECK(yaml_parser.GetNextDocument(regexes));
          ~~~~~~~~~~~ ^

Some googling led me to here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14365505/complete-example-yaml-program-on-http-code-google-com-p-yaml-cpp-wiki-howtopar which seems to imply that you built this code with the yaml-cpp 0.3.0 branch and the new 0.5.x branch has broken the API.

Thank you!

boost/regex.hpp not found - terminates install in R

I cannot install_github this project as when I try to do so I get the following error:
In file included from internal_UaParser.cpp:1:0: internal_UaParser.h:5:27: fatal error: boost/regex.hpp: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

All the googling I can do about this problem has to do with compiling Boost for C++ projects...not sure what to make of those forums. And I have all the necessary dependencies.

Making a note here re: OS X

fails hard even with the C++ YAML lib installed. Will post logs in a bit.

However…

Why not read the YAML file with R (via the yaml package) and pass an R data structure into Rcpp? It's not like the UA YAML file is huge (so it's not going to really save time) and it would remove something you'd no doubt have to make a download-and-install library as part of the pkg installation process (== ugh).

Also, an alternative to getting C++ regex working is to ask the stringi folks to expose a cpl functions directly (i.e. just use stringi regexes). I'll still keep poking at the example icu code you slack'd tho.

Upgrade to yaml 0.5

What it says on the tin.

fatal error: 'boost/regex.hpp' file not found

When installing with "devtools::install_github("ua-parser/uap-r")", I get the following error:

In file included from internal_UaParser.cpp:1:
./internal_UaParser.h:5:10: fatal error: 'boost/regex.hpp' file not found
#include <boost/regex.hpp>

How to install?

A lot of github install 'instructions' are anything but. I'm afraid these 'instructions' are no different:

"Install uaparser through the usual install.packages() command..."

Refactor to remove glog dependency

We don't need logging
