'use_package' error

[DamienCaillet]

Hi,
Thanks for the package!
I'm facing this issue while installing it from github:

• installing source package ‘RAdwordsPlus’ ...
  ** using staged installation
  ** R
  ** data
  *** moving datasets to lazyload DB
  ** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
  Error : 'use_package' is not an exported object from 'namespace:devtools'
  Error: unable to load R code in package ‘RAdwordsPlus’
  Execution halted
  ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘RAdwordsPlus’
• removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/library/RAdwordsPlus’
  Error: Failed to install 'RAdwordsPlus' from GitHub:
  (converted from warning) installation of package ‘/var/folders/kz/dlmkczsx3pgc4q66d1s98kph0000gn/T//RtmpkvAs27/file5ab46020cf43/RAdwordsPlus_0.1.0.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

Thanks for your help,
Cheers, Damien

Thanks for the interest you have in this package. Sadly the Adwords API is at the end of its life. It may still be useful to you but we no longer use it for our projects.

Still, the problem seems to be simply caused by the deprecated function devtools::use_package. I replaced it with the new usethis::use_package function.

Hi Nicolas, thanks a lot for fixing this. Out of curiosity, which service are you using now instead of the Adwords API?

[nicolas-scott]

We were using RAdwords (by Johannes Burkhardt) and RAdwordsPlus to build improved reports. Google Ads now offers much better reporting tools than before. All other services saw only sporadic use for specific projects and with the once imminent replacement of the AdwordsAPI with the GoogleAdsAPI, we started to simply avoir for the time being starting any project that rely on that API. But as to not extinguish all hope in you, another sad true reason was the too great efficiency of some methods that were developed in-house. Which meant that some specialists needed to get creative and work harder instead of simply managing the accounts as usual. Which was not very popular. But that’s another story… ;)
