R package not being able to read .parquet files in Windows

[ssorou1]

Short description explaining the high-level reason for the new issue.

Current behavior

After sourcing proc.attr.hydfab.R in the Rstudio, running the fs_attrs_grab.R (RaFTS Processing Scripts, Step 2) failed under Windows environment. Error was regarding the parquet files. Deleting the attribute folder and redoing the process did not help either.

Expected behavior

Steps to replicate behavior (include URLs)

Go to Rstudio.
- Source flow.install.proc.attr.hydfab.R under \formulation-selector\pkg\proc.attr.hydfab\flow
- Install any packages as needed (Tools/install packages)
- You might need to Restart R (Session/Restart R)
- Go to terminal inside Rstudio and type:
Rscript fs_attrs_grab.R C:/Users/SoroushSorourian/git/formulation-selector/scripts/eval_ingest/xssa/xssa_attr_config.yaml
Upon debugging the code, the error is narrowed down to the 'io_attr_dat' function in proc_attr_grabber.R code:

The error is generated in the first if-clause at line 569. The error generated when running this clause is as follows:

As an additional information, the version of the arrow function is as follows:
packageVersion("arrow")
[1] ‘18.1.0’

@ssorou1 , this error appears to arise from how the arrow package is installed in Windows. Following these instructions, try to install the arrow package with the following command in R console:
install.packages("arrow", repos = c("https://apache.r-universe.dev"))
