Why does the lubridate::ymd_hms function add an NA observation when the “silent” argument is set TRUE?












0















Could any one explain why the "silent=T" argument triggers a warning and an NA observation, and tell me how to avoid this?



x <- c("2010-04-14-04-35-59", "20100401120000")
ymd_hms(x, silent=T)
[1] "2010-04-14 04:35:59 UTC" "2010-04-01 12:00:00 UTC" NA

Warning message:
1 failed to parse.

    silent is not an argument of ymd_hms. Do you want ymd_hms(x, quiet = TRUE) ?

Here, lubridate tries to evaluate "silent=T" as a date format, the argument for removing message being quiet.



lubridate::ymd_hms(x, quiet=TRUE)
[1] "2010-04-14 04:35:59 UTC" "2010-04-01 12:00:00 UTC"


This is because you can pass vector inside a lubridate function :



x <- c("2010-04-14-04-35-59", "20100401120000")
y <- c("2010-04-14-04-35-59", "20100401120000")
z <- c("2010-04-14-04-35-59", "20100401120000")

lubridate::ymd_hms(x, y, z)
[1] "2010-04-14 04:35:59 UTC" "2010-04-01 12:00:00 UTC"
[3] "2010-04-14 04:35:59 UTC" "2010-04-01 12:00:00 UTC"
[5] "2010-04-14 04:35:59 UTC" "2010-04-01 12:00:00 UTC"


So here, with silent=T, you're telling lubridate that silent=T is a vector to parse. Hence the NA.

    I faced this issue for cases where the format is different. Please see that all the dates are following the same format. Using parse_date_time() can solve this problem.



    parse_date_time(df$date, c("y/m/d","y/m/d HMS","m/d/y","m/d/y HM"))


    Please be sure that the date format is contained in the list.
