I installed pitchRx 1.8.4 directly from GitHub repo and am now having a problem with scrape function.

Here is the code
`

load libraries

library(devtools)
install.packages("ggplot2")
install_github("cpsievert/pitchRx")
library(ggplot2)
library(graphics)
library(RColorBrewer)
library(pitchRx) ## thank you Carson Sievert!!!
library(dplyr)
library(stringr)
library(lubridate)
library(RSQLite)

scrape data for 02-03APR2018

dat1804 <- scrape(start = "2018-04-02", end = "2018-04-02", suffix = "inning/inning_all.xml")
`

and here is the console output.

dat180402 <- scrape(start = "2018-04-02", end = "2018-04-02", suffix = "inning/inning_all.xml")
If file names don't print right away, please be patient.

It seems that this error only occurs on MacOS. there is no error when it runs on Windows platform. strange.

[avwandle]

I am currently experiencing this exact same issue on Windows 10 and R 3.5.1. Does anyone know of a solution? Trying to get 2017 and 2018 data into a SQLite database.

[goyetc]

Same issue running MacOS 10.12.4 and RStudio 3.3.2. Appears to be an invalid path structure?

Hi all, I am not using pitchRx package, but encountered the same issue raised by the OP and google leads me here. I wonder if anyone solve this issue yet? I suspect it is related to setting up 'path'?
