Another "Error in seq.int(cutpoints[1] + 1, cutpoints[2] - 1) : 'from' must be a finite number" problem

[kpeter4]

Hi, I know there have been other posts about this issue (namely here #11) but none of these solutions have been working for me. I am getting the following error:

"
Error in seq.int(cutpoints[1] + 1, cutpoints[2] - 1) :
'from' must be a finite number
"

My Stata path and version are set up as follows:

options("RStata.StataPath" = "/Applications/Stata/StataBE.app/Contents/MacOS/StataBE")
options("RStata.StataVersion" = 17)

When I try to run any Stata code, the program starts but immediately crashes, and the .do files says the following:

capture noisily {
/RSTATA: cut me here/
clear
/RSTATA: cut me here/
} /* end capture noisily */
exit, clear STATA

I've tried changing my path to say:

options("RStata.StataPath" = "/Applications/Stata/StataBE.app/Contents/MacOS/stata-be")

Since this seems to have worked for other users, but I get an error that this file or directory doesn't exist. Has anyone figured out any other solutions to this?

Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

I am having the exact same problem with the exact same version of Stata.

Same. It worked for me once and then it's no longer working for me. Whenever I try to run a load a dataframe from stata like this:
foo <- stata(foo.do, data.out=TRUE)

I get this:
Error in foreign::write.dta(data.in, file = dtaInFile, version = if (stataVersion >= : unable to open file for writing: 'Read-only file system'

I even tried running: auto <- stata("sysuse auto", data.out = TRUE) and get the same error above. It's weird cause it worked for me previously.

Same problem, is it because I am using StataBE? Appreciate if anyone knows a solution

Was this ever resolved. I have also been having this use w/ stataMP

Was this ever resolved. I have also been having this use w/ stataMP

I used the following:
options("RStata.StataPath" = "/Applications/Stata/StataMP.app/Contents/MacOS/stata-mp")

I confirmed in terminal as being the correct non-GUI path using:
open "/Applications/Stata/StataMP.app/Contents/MacOS/stata-mp"
This terminal command opened stata for me.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
