Specific OECD series not parsing to data.frame

[expersso]

Dear Emmanuel,

I'm trying to fetch this file using readSDMX and then coerce to data.frame, but without success:

df <- rsdmx::readSDMX("http://stats.oecd.org/restsdmx/sdmx.ashx/GetData/HEALTH_HCQI/AUS/all?")
as.data.frame(df)
Error in getNodeSet(obsXML, paste("//ns:", timeElement, sep = ""), namespaces = ns)[[1]] : 
  subscript out of bounds

I can't seem to figure out what's causing this.

Hi @expersso the reason is that this particular data doesn't handle explicit time dimension. Fortunately i already fixed the issue in #133. What you need to is to update to rsdmx 0.5.10, which remains to be released on CRAN. I did some tests for pushing it, and they are some CRAN check issues that I have to analyze, but in this period unfortunately I don't have time available to look into that.

Can you try with rsdmx 0.5-10 and confirm it works for you?

[expersso]

I can confirm that installing rsdmx 0.5-10 indeed resolves the issue. Thank a lot for the quick response!

@expersso FYI rsdmx 0.5-10 has been published in CRAN
