GEOS required for selecting nearest features not working

Deployment

hello Travis CI,

I’m not being able to deal with this Travis error asking for GEOS version 3.6.1 while trying to run a unit test in a package that is using the sf::at_nearest_feature.

here is the log error:

yaml

From the looks of the log error, seems to be a dist that does not support the libgeos-3.7.1 package. I’d be curious to see what your dist: is set at? Try changing it to xenial (which I’m guessing you’re not currently using) which currently supports libgeos as there is no .travis.yml build instruction file provided, I cannot make a guess one way or another.

An example of a working .travis.yml in this case would be as follows:

language: r
cache: packages
latex: false
sudo: true
dist: xenial

Try changing the dist (if it’s not already xenial) If it is, we can troubleshoot more. My gut is telling me this is the issue.

thank you @Montana, for reference here was my travis file

 latex: false
 sudo: true
 dist: trusty

with an error of:

`GEOS version 3.6.1 required for selecting nearest features`

Glad I could help @SolarUltima,

That was my gut, that it was the dist: via the support issue. If you have anymore concerns, problems, issues, I welcome you with open arms and will help you with anything you need! I’m thrilled I could resolve this as quick as I did for you.
