Hello again,
I come back to this thread beacuse the issue was solved for readVECT, but I
now realize (when trying to write vectors back into GRASS after some
processing in R) that writeVECT shows the same problem, i.e. the only
driver working is ESRI Shapefile (all smooth, no errors), but driver =
"SQLite" throws the same error as reported for readVECT at the begining of
this thread. Would it be possible to fix also writeVECT?
Here an example:
> library(rgrass7)
Loading required package: sp
Loading required package: XML
GRASS GIS interface loaded with GRASS version: GRASS 7.3.svn (2017)
and location: eu_laea
> bbox <- readVECT("bbox_greece", driver = "SQLite")
WARNING: No attribute table found -> using only category numbers as
attributes

v.out.ogr complete. 1 feature (Polygon type) written to <bbox_greece>
(SQLite format).
OGR data source with driver: SQLite
...
WARNING: No attribute table found -> using only category numbers as

> writeVECT(bbox, "bbox_from_R", driver = "SQLite")
Error: driver %in% candDrivers is not TRUE
> writeVECT(bbox, "bbox_from_R", driver = "ESRI Shapefile")
... all goes fine...
Sorry for bothersome and thanks much in advance!
best,
Vero
ps: sessionInfo() and ogrDrivers() are the same as before.
