Hi, I have Polish locale configured on my system (pl_PL).
I noticed that it affects dates parsing and leads to errors with downloading SSURGO files:
(Down)Loading SSURGO data for survey area 1 of 7: CO669
Downloading file: http://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/DSD/Download/Cache/SSA/wss_SSA_CO669_[NA].zip
Ostrzeżenie w poleceniu 'utils::unzip(file, exdir = tmpdir)':
błąd 1 podczas rozpakowywania pliku zip
Notice the [NA] in the filename instead of the date. This is caused by the fact that with non-english locale as.Date with the "%b %d %Y" format cannot parse the month name from the saverest field.
I managed to overcome this problem by setting the locale manually in the R console:
Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", 'en_US.UTF-8')
However, maybe it would be a good idea to wrap the calls to as.Date with the code that changes the locale temporarily?
For example:
currentTimeLocale<-Sys.getlocale("LC_TIME")
Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", 'en_US.UTF-8')
x<-as.Date("Jun 8 2020 5:12PM", format = "%b %d %Y")
Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", currentTimeLocale)
