Question: what happened to codecommit?

[ghost]

I would like to just list the content of an aws codecommit repository from R code. I can't seem to find anything that works. is there anything in paws that could achieve this?
Thank you

this https://paws-r.github.io/docs/codecommit/ looked the answer but then it does not seem to exist anymore ....

Thanks for submitting this issue! CodeCommit is not currently available from CRAN, but you can install it directly from this repository with the following command: devtools::install_github("paws-r/paws/cran/paws.developer.tools").

You can then use codecommit as follows:

## To initialize a service object
codecommit <- paws.developer.tools::codecommit()

## To view documentation
?paws.developer.tools::codecommit

It should be fully functional, but I have not used CodeCommit extensively, so it is possible there are bugs.

Thank you!
When I run the install_github, I get the following message:
Downloading GitHub repo paws-r/paws@master Error in utils::download.file(url, path, method = method, quiet = quiet, : cannot open URL 'https://api.github.com/repos/paws-r/paws/tarball/master'

Seems like like it could be a network related issue. Are you able to download other files, e.g. download.file("https://github.com", "test.html")?

Thank you, I am able to download files, the example you provided worked fine. I am still getting the same message on the install_github command however. I tried something silly: if i paste https://api.github.com/repos/paws-r/paws/tarball/master into chrome, i get a 404: Not Found error.

I found an issue in the remotes repo about this problem. They state that the file download problem is likely due to a rate limit or some other problem, like bad proxy setup.

You may be able to get around it by changing the download.file download method with options(download.file.method = "libcurl").

Failing that you can manually download the repo (right click and save) and install it locally with devtools::install_local("paws/cran/paws.developer.tools"), assuming your working directory is the parent folder of the unzipped file.

Thank you! the manual download worked! Now on to interacting with codecommit .....

[davidkretch]

Great. I have also not used this API, but my guess is that the get_folder API operation will get you a list of a repository's contents:

codecommit <- paws.developer.tools::codecommit()
codecommit$get_folder(
  repositoryName = "string",
  commitSpecifier = "string",
  folderPath = "string"
)

Closing for now.

FYI CodeCommit is now available in the version of paws on CRAN (0.1.12).
