Error in make_spatial_info() FishStatsUtils 3.2 and VAST 3.2 - User extrapolation grid

[Jason-Conner-NOAA]

Encountered an error using VAST 3.2 that does not arise using 3.1 with the same input. Other discrepancies: works on MRAN 3.5.3 but not on 3.5.1

Region= "user" with an extrap grid of 4 nmi^2 for the eastern Bering Sea.

Executing code:
Spatial_List = make_spatial_info( n_x=n_x, Method=Method, Lon_i=Data_Geostat[,'Lon'], Lat_i=Data_Geostat[,'Lat'], Extrapolation_List=Extrapolation_List, DirPath=DateFile, Save_Results=FALSE, fine_scale=F)

Gives the following traceback:
Error in rbind(info, getNamespaceInfo(env, "S3methods")) : number of columns of matrices must match (see arg 2)

fine_scale = FALSE)

I am currently trying to have OFIS upgrade my VM to MRAN 3.5.3 to see if that makes the difference. I will report back.

The error is the same as #189. I'm closing here and feel free to follow up on that thread. Long story short, I think you'll find that you get the same error just typing library(INLA) and it arises from a problem with either the version of INLA, or some other package using 3.6.0 namespace conventions, as discussed on that other issue thread.
