Hi R version 2.4.0 alpha (2006-09-06 r39158) MacOSX 10.4.7
There was a thread some time ago as to whether the structure created by package.skeleton() would pass R CMD check. I have an example where package.skeleton() gives an R file that gives an error when sourced. If I type setClass("brob", representation = representation (x="numeric",positive="logical"), prototype = list(x=numeric(),positive=logical()) ) setGeneric("getX",function(x){standardGeneric("getX")}) setMethod("getX","brob",function(x)[EMAIL PROTECTED]) (which is legal, AFAICS), then package.skeleton(path="~") I get a file ~/anRpackage/R/getX.R containing: "getX" <- structure(function(x){standardGeneric("getX")} , generic = structure("getX", package = ".GlobalEnv"), package = ".GlobalEnv", group = list(), valueClass = character(0), signature = "x", default = <S4 object of class structure("MethodsList", package = "methods")>, skeleton = quote(function (x) stop("invalid call in method dispatch to 'getX' (no default method)", domain = NA)(x)), class = structure ("nonstandardGenericFunction", package = "methods")) [subject to line breaking] but this file gives an error when sourced (below). I didn't get this problem with R-2.3.1. > > source("/Users/rksh/anRpackage/R/getX.R") Error in parse(file, n = -1, NULL, "?") : syntax error at 2: structure(function(x){standardGeneric("getX")} 3: , generic = structure("getX", package = ".GlobalEnv"), package = ".GlobalEnv", group = list(), valueClass = character(0), signature = "x", default = < > Am I doing something wrong? -- Robin Hankin Uncertainty Analyst National Oceanography Centre, Southampton European Way, Southampton SO14 3ZH, UK tel 023-8059-7743 ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
