bis_boxscore.xml not available for 2019 games

[james-ingold]

bis_boxscore.xml is not available for games this season. For example, this directory has no bis_boxscore.xml which is a file this library depends on to build out war: http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2019/month_03/day_29/gid_2019_03_29_anamlb_oakmlb_1/

I'm looking at working around this, but wondering if anyone has some info on why gameday at mlb.com isn't providing this file anymore?

It looks like the file is now just called boxscore.xml.

• Does it contain the same information as bis_boxscore.html?
• Have they renamed the old files?

@beanumber have you been able to use openWar for the 2019 season/is this library still maintained? I haven't been able to get the boxscore.html file to work but I haven't been able to spend enough time looking at it.

[beanumber]

I haven't been able to spend any time on it either @james-ingold. I'm guessing that it is a simple fix but it will require some digging to verify backwards compatibility.

Hey @beanumber I'm trying to look into this, pulled down latest and getting
Error during wrapup: Evaluation error: object 'isBIP' not found in the makeWAR.GameDayPlays_Runs function:
bip.idx <- which(x$data$isBIP == TRUE & !is.na(x$data$our.x))

Do you know how to resolve this issue?

[gjm112]

I keep running into this problem too. If I recall correctly, it was an issue with dplyr? But I'm only like 25% sure that was it.
