rgcam::localDBConn Issue

[mengqi-z]

rgcam::localDBConn is not working when the R working directory is set to be the same as the directory that holds GCAM database. Here is an example error I got:

Error in rgcam::localDBConn(gcamdatabasePath, gcamdatabaseName) : 
  Database does not exist or is invalid: E:/NEXO-UA/GCAM-Workspace/gcam-core-gcam-v5.3/output/FinalRuns/gcam5p3-stash_GFDL-ESM2M_rcp2p6

Does it work for you if you change your R working directory to be different from the GCAM database directory? I found some people still get errors even if they change the working directory. Hope this bug gets fixed soon!

3 years later and this solved my problem! spent a good couple of hours to see what's the problem:) I guess at this point it might be good to flag this as a bug and hopefully be solved in the next released. Thanks
