I updated Rstudio and a few packages a few days ago. Now, I wanted to run a script that I usually run bi-weekly, but now it cannot read the files due to accented folder names. Previously I had no problem reading these folders. Here's the code:
wd <- "C:/Users/name/Opinião/"
# Get all questionnaires
filenames <- list.files(path = paste0(wd,"Questionarios/"), pattern="*.csv$", full.names = TRUE)
Now I get an error in Opinião. The system is unable to read the accent. If I try to access the folder manually, I get "C:/Users/name/Opinião". I'm not sure what the issue could be since it worked before the update, and LOCALE corresponds to Portuguese. I could manually change the folder's name, but then the files also have accents, and it would be a bit time-consuming doing it manually.
Any ideas? Here is sessionInfo()

The problem seems to be with folder and file names as I can write in R
> name <- "Opinião"
> name
[1] "Opinião"
Update: The problem is only using RStudio.
everyone. This problem happened to me, today. I spend some time trying to fix it, but was worthless. Curious thing, at the files panel the files names was correct, but just when I have to put the files names as strings the problem occurs. Well, I updated the R base and Rstudio and the IDE turned back to recognize the names accents. I don't know why some of then still have problems, but the most recent ones is working well.
