Can't load IPUMS data into R using read_ipums_ddi
I'm trying to do the most basic possible data import with IPUMS and I keep getting an error. I have downloaded the IPUMS extract and the DDI codebook and I'm trying to use read_ipums_ddi. With the following code I get the following error, even though I can clearly see the file in the directory.
> setwd("~/")
> library(ipumsr)
> ddi <- read_ipums_ddi("usa_00003.xml")
Error in custom_check_file_exists(ddi_file) :
Could not find file named './usa_00003.xml' in current working directory:
C:/Users/USERNAME/OneDrive/Documents
Do you need to change the directory with `setwd()`?
Does anyone know why this is happening or a way to avoid it?

Did you download the ddi and data into your home directory? Can you post the output ofdir()? You should only be getting that message if it can't find the file.
