Gif posts

Thank you for contributing this package. I'm trying to build a bot that publishes some gifs, however it's not working. is it possible to make publications with gifs?

Gifs are now supported as much as possible. Bluesky will convert them to videos (no native gif support), but you can upload gifs and they will appear.

Hi, Thank you! I am trying run to test this line code:

bs_post(
text = 'Fortaleza.',
images = c('post_gif2.gif')
)

This message is showing up:

rror in base::nchar(wide_chars$test, type = "width") :
lazy-load database '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-x86_64/Resources/library/cli/R/sysdata.rdb' is corrupt
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In base::nchar(wide_chars$test, type = "width") :
restarting interrupted promise evaluation
2: In base::nchar(wide_chars$test, type = "width") :
internal error -3 in R_decompress1

The credential are corrects. I also tried text post and it worked.

Thank you in advance.

This suggests that the cli package didn't install correctly. So, when I try to use that to give a warning or info, it's failing.

Try running this in a clean session. (I recommend using the standard R gui for updating cli and/or rlang as they get loaded by default in some Rstudio* sessions.)

remove.packages('cli')
install.packages('cli')

Hi, thanks very much for your reply.

I even managed to run the function, but the video doesn't appear in bluesky.

It looks like this:

I've tried different videos, but none work. Do you have any idea what it might be?
