Warning: <BigQueryConnection> uses an old dbplyr interface

Question

I'm trying to suppress the following warning

Warning: <BigQueryConnection> uses an old dbplyr interface
ℹ Please install a newer version of the package or contact the maintainer
This warning is displayed once every 8 hours.

I know the code that produces this warning is

result <- DBI::dbConnect(bigrquery::bigquery(),
                           project = project_id,
                           dataset = dataset)

I have the most updated versions of both dbplyr = 2.3.2, DBI = 1.1.3, and bigrquery = 1.4.2 (all the most updated versions.)

I haven't tried anything besides double checking that all packages are updated to the most recent versions. Is this warning a bug or what?

Answer 1

According to this issue,

The warning is referring entirely to an issue in dbplyr itself. It essentially saying "the developers of dbplyr haven't yet written a backend for JDBC that is up to their own current standards".

This applies beyond JDBC as well. A better warning would be useful.

I haven't checked the roadmap, but the upgrade may be on the timeline.
