Note: zip::zip() is deprecated, please use zip::zipr() instead

[SteadyGiant]

Just a heads up in case this affects anything. The zip package pushed an update sometime in the last 24 hours, and now openxlsx::saveWorkbook() returns this note:

Note: zip::zip() is deprecated, please use zip::zipr() instead

• Version of openxlsx: 4.1.0
• Version of zip: 2.0.1
• Version of R: 3.5.2 (Windows)

I've just tested on a local copy.

Literally a one-character change in the source code (zip::zip to zip::zipr on line 544 of WorkbookClass.R) appears to work fine subsequently.

@awalker89 is there any chance of a quick fix release for this being dropped to CRAN to avoid the deprecation notices?

Hi all,

I am curious, I tried this solution on my side (with another package named officer) and it did not worked. Then I tried the PR of yanlesin (I thought I did a mistake and could reuse this solution) but got unvalid files also.

@md0u80c9 Did you tried this solution and it worked (then I have an issue) or did you just supposed it should work (then I think it does not solved the issue and this package and mine have the same issue with package zip)

[md0u80c9]

I literally changed the function, rebuilt the package and it worked with the examples I threw at it without any problem (and the warning has gone).

Of course that doesn't mean that there isn't a problem and I just haven't triggered it!

[davidgohel]

thanks @md0u80c9 then I may have a local issue as on my mac, xlsx generated by this method are invalids (pptx or docx from officer as well). Sorry for disturbing :)

[md0u80c9]

No worries at all! Let me know how you get on! Did you try the rebuild of this package with the change to see what happens?

[davidgohel]

yes,

After rebuilding the package I got the following file (with R command openxlsx::write.xlsx(iris, file = "coco.xlsx")) and it is invalid

toto.xlsx

Hi @davidgohel - I am using officer (version 0.3.3) and I love it. My company is ruled by ppt, so the opportunity to automatically print R output to ppt slides is saving me a lot of time. I used reporter before. Thank you for the efforts developing and supporting these packages!

In context of the thread above, when printing a ppt file using the following code:

print(x = ppt.file, target = paste0(path.deliverables, " - Batch Analysis.pptx"))

I get the message, "Note: zip::zip() is deprecated, please use zip::zipr() instead"

The ppt file is saved and I can open it. So, no critical issue. However, would be great to have it resolved. Will the officer package be updated? Or is there something else I can do to resolve the message?

Thanks!

====================
Further, I have installed R 3.5.3 and R Studio 1.1.463. The object 'ppt.file' is constructed with help of officer functions, including 'add_slide', 'ph_with_text', and 'ph_with_gg'.

@md0u80c9 , I am facing the same issue. I am new to R and do not know how to rebuild packages from source code. Can you help me with the rebuilt package that works for you?

[Hugovdberg]

I guess the problem is that zip and zipr assume a different root directory for the files, see the section on relative paths in the documentation. The working directory should therefore be changed as well on line 542.

[JulianGaviriaL]

It is a pitty, I still get the same problem as well. Has anyone a clear idea about how to solv this issue?
P.D. The problem raises when I specify a directory path.

[JulianGaviriaL]

Hi again,

I just realized that my path is too large. Sorry for the inconvenience, the latest version (4.1.0.1) works fine.
Thanks for developing such an efficient package.

[facorread]

The master branch continues to use zip::zip(); I would suggest to reopen this issue.

Any plans to accept the proposed PR #457?

library(openxlsx)
cat("openxlsx version", as.character(packageVersion("openxlsx")), "\n", R.Version()$version.string, "\n")
data <- data.frame(c(1,2), c("a", "b"))
write.xlsx(data, "test.xlsx")

Output:

openxlsx version 4.1.0.1 
 R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05) 
Note: zip::zip() is deprecated, please use zip::zipr() instead

[MattCowgill]

It'd be great if PR #457 could be accepted!

Try first to define your work directory by :
setwd("~/filea/fileb")
then:
library(openxlsx)
and you will not get this problem of: "Note: zip::zip() is deprecated, please use zip::zipr() instead" when you will use :
write.xlsx
