Unrecognized CRS in RStudio

[tylerdrudolph]

Invoking certain legitimate EPSG codes draws errors on my machine, seemingly only in RStudio but occasionally in Rterm as well:

# RStudio console
> sp::CRS("EPSG:3005")
Error in sp::CRS("EPSG:3005") : NA

# RStudio terminal
> sp::CRS("EPSG:3005")
CRS arguments:
+proj=aea +lat_0=45 +lon_0=-126 +lat_1=50 +lat_2=58.5 +x_0=1000000
+y_0=0 +datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs

R and packages are up-to-date and I am testing in a clean environment:

See rspatial/raster#232 and rstudio/rstudio#10052 for background.
Is this an sp or an RStudio problem?

Can you also share the output of traceback() after the error occurs? It might help pinpoint which function call is failing underneath the hood.

[tylerdrudolph]

By all means @kevinushey.

> traceback()
2: stop(res[[2]])
1: sp::CRS("EPSG:3005")

Any luck figuring this out @tylerdrudolph? Having the same problem

@KarHarker As of today, all my packages are up-to-date, yet the issue persists. My solution is to progressively rework all active code such that it no longer references CRS(), instead using sf::st_crs(), and the terra package in lieu of raster.
