Unable to run linked in demo due to locked environment

I can't run the linked in demo in httr due to an error message about being unable to add variables to a locked environment. The specific piece of code, is where Hadley has to extend Token2.0 in order to accommodate LI's nonstandard oauth2

TokenLinkedIn <- setRefClass("TokenLinkedIn", contains = "Token2.0",
                         methods = list(
                             sign = function(method, url) {
                                 url <- parse_url(url)
                                 url$query$oauth2_access_token <- credentials$access_token
                                 list(url = build_url(url), config = config())
                             }
                         ), where = asNamespace("httr")
)

The error message is: Error in assign(mname, def, where): cannot add bindings to a locked environment

System: MAC OS Mavericks R version 3.0.3 (2014-03-06) httr version 0.3

I have not been able to find a successful solution yet

Solution

  • This is actually an issue due to changes in the package environment of R 3.0.3 in that : "The namespace environments of packages with namespaces are locked when loaded."
