R tool stuck at 50%

Hi all,

 

I have some R code that's using selenium & IE to web scrape COVID cases by zip code from a local county website. It all seems to be running correctly, and when I include a print command I can see the results in the messages. However, the R tool never progresses past 50%, so I'm unable to output the data. Has anyone else had issues like this with R? Are there compatibility problems with selenium and the R 3.6.3. that's currently available in Alteryx?

 

Thanks!

At this point I can get it to work by stopping the R tool with stop.Alteryx()

 

I get the data I need, but this results in an error message from the R tool. Is there any way to stop the R tool without generating that error message? Or, to tell Alteryx to ignore that error somehow?

were you ever able to solve this issue?  I'm about to embark on a similar project.  I'm doubting that I'll be able to get a scraping schema to work from the server, but I'd like to get it to work on my work machine at least.
