`ff_scoring()` not working for MFL league with thresholdPoints

[TheMathNinja]

Describe the bug
Running ff_playerscores() now returns an error for my MFL league.

Reprex

library(ffscrapr)
library(nflverse)
library(tidyverse)

FAFL22 <- mfl_connect(season = 2022, league_id = 22686, rate_limit_number = 3, rate_limit_seconds = 6)

ffscrapr::ff_playerscores(FAFL22,
                          season = 2022,
                          week = 1:17)

 # Please include the code used for the connection object from `ff_connect()`

Expected behavior
I expect it to return a df, but I'm getting an error:
Error in dplyr::mutate():
ℹ In argument: rule = purrr::map(.data$rule, parse_rule).
Caused by error in purrr::map():
ℹ In index: 10.
Caused by error in mutate():
ℹ In argument: thresholdPoints = (structure(function (..., .x = ..1, .y = ..2, . = ..1) ....
Caused by error:
! thresholdPoints must be size 12 or 1, not 5.

Looks related to #414. Definitely an API change I think. I’m away til Tuesday next week, I’ll try to get to it around then.

[tanho63]

I’ll probably track it in 414 since that’s more specific to ff_scoring

[tanho63]

Looks like different issue, so reopening this again. Is thresholdPoints a new addition to the scoring for this year?

[TheMathNinja]

Thanks so much for working on this @tanho63!

[TheMathNinja]

Any updates on this one? Is it pretty complex?

[tanho63]

Yeah, somewhat complex. Limiting factor is lack developer time though

Hey all,
I’m picking this up again with @TheMathNinja.
Looks like one workaround is just to use the prod branch (1.4.8) instead of the dev branch head (1.4.8.17); on prod, ff_playerscores() (the original use case) appears to run just fine, dev reproduces the original error.
Any idea which commit on the dev branch could cause this divergence?
I’m a far cry from an R developer, but happy to help hack in a fix where I can.

[TheMathNinja]

@rlynch91 Any chance you could get to the bottom of this thing this month?

[rlynch91]

Hi all, I haven’t dug too much into this issue since last commenting back in April re my workaround.
To summarize for all: @TheMathNinja and I have been running with the prod branch (1.4.8), and everything has been working fine since on MFL.
It was the dev branch head at the time (1.4.8.17) that had a broken ff_playerscores() on MFL.
This has been a fine workflow for us in the short term, but it would be nice to get synced back up with head.
@tanho63, any idea which commit in between those could have caused this issue we’re seeing on MFL?
I haven’t been able to pinpoint it in the limited time I’ve had to look at this, but the hope would be that there’s a low-hanging hack there to leverage the compatibility of prod 1.4.8.

[tanho63]

Unsure, you'd need to use git bisect a bunch probably. My guess it's this commit for new dplyr compatibility: b2dc63a

This can't be fixed via a reversion, so it'll need to be updated to handle the new dplyr rectangling output.
