I recently tried to pacletize the resource function SymbolToSubscript using the resource function PacletizeResourceFunction, but it doesn't work with SymbolToSubscript.

Could someone explain to me what is happening?

Problems:

Import::chtype: First argument <<1>> is not a valid file, directory, or URL specification.

Insert::ins: Cannot insert at position {2} in $Failed


First::normal: Nonatomic expression expected at position 1 in First[None].


First::normal: Nonatomic expression expected at position 1 in First[None].


Java::excptn: A Java exception occurred: com.wolfram.paclet.PacletInfoException: VersionNumber does not have the correct form of digits separated by periods in paclet named SymbolToSubscript

    What version of Mathematica are you using? – Lukas Lang Sep 09 '22 at 20:13
  • My Mathematica version: 13.0.1 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (January 28, 2022) – E. Chan-López Sep 09 '22 at 20:13

    Can you give some more details on the kind of issue that you are experiencing? I tried with both "13.0.0 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (December 3, 2021)" and "13.1.0 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (June 16, 2022)", and both paclet file generation and direct installation work without issues. I also tried to use the installed function, and all examples from the documentation appear to work as expected. – Lukas Lang Sep 09 '22 at 21:11

    I was about to comment that problems with a resource function might not be on topic here and should go to the function author. Then I saw the comments above....from the function author. – Jason B. Sep 09 '22 at 21:33

    It's probably easier to continue this in chat – Lukas Lang Sep 09 '22 at 21:45
  • @LukasLang The problem persists even when changing the version. This did not happen until I updated SymbolToSubscript. I appreciate the time you took to reply. – E. Chan-López Sep 10 '22 at 23:05
  • @LukasLang I followed your instructions, and it solved the problem. I think you should include that suggestion as an answer, as it may be helpful to other users with the same problem. Thank you for your attention and patience in answering my question. Greetings! :) – E. Chan-López Sep 12 '22 at 18:14

Since this seems to have solved the issue according to the comments:

Since all other functions work on your machine, and the problematic function works on other computers, you can try to evaluate

ResourceRemove@ResourceFunction["SymbolToSubscript"]

This will remove any local versions of the problematic resource function, forcing Mathematica to redownload the latest version from the repository. My guess is that while developing and testing the function, you ended up with a locally deployed version of the function. PacletizeResourceFunction cannot work with that, since some information is missing in that case. (Usually, it should produce a more readable error message in this case, but somehow this didn't work in this instance)
