Unexpected Return Value from Function whatNWISdata
Created by: jasmyace
Hello,
I currently have a set of code that performs some querying, based on functions in dataRetrieval
. But, then my code broke.
I find that function whatNWISdata
no longer returns the full set of variables listed in the Value
section of help(whatNWISdata)
. In my case specifically, I see that the function no longer returns "parameter_nm"
and "parameter_units"
. When I run the help-file Examples
section code of
# R version 3.4.2 (2017-09-28)
# Platform: i386-w64-mingw32/i386 (32-bit)
# Running under: Windows Server >= 2012 x64 (build 9200)
# dataRetrieval_2.7.3
availableData <- whatNWISdata(siteNumber = '05114000')
I confirm this behavior.
I could believe that a DBA removed these from the query (outside the package scope), as I can see that both "parameter_nm"
and "parameter_units"
could be obtained from external tables, i.e., those found on the provided link in the help documentation.
I suspect that the function and query are a-ok, and the roxygen documentation may need to be updated. In this case, I can simply grab the info I need from external lookup tables.
Can you provide any clarity?
