fetch_survey tmpdir problem in 3.2.1?

[pgmj]

Package version 3.2.0 works perfectly for retrieving data, but 3.2.1 fails with identical code with this error message:

Error: '/var/folders/yf/q87d8g990l5f_sz039gjgmy80000gn/T/RtmpTiIVMj/name of my Qualtrics project.csv' does not exist.

I have tried to change the tmpdir, but get the same error. Downgraded to 3.2.0 and things work again, in the same R session.

We did make some changes to how the temp directory is found/handled in the 3.2.1 release, as outlined in #349 and the issues linked there. It has solved that whole class of bugs but sounds like you are running into a related problem.

Can you share a reprex like this of your failing call to fetch_survey()?

It should show the full traceback, which will be helpful. Also, if you can do reprex::reprex(session_info = TRUE) that may be helpful in this situation.

Thanks! This is all output I get:

The name of the .csv file is the full name of the survey in the Qualtrics system.

Ah, thanks for sharing the real filename you have there! I changed the name of this survey and can reproduce the problem:
