Hello everyone. R-2.12.0, suse linux 11.3. I am debugging a package that uses S4 methods and R CMD check gives the following warning:
> Warning in methods::findMethods(g, env) : > non-generic function 'mdm' given to findMethods() > See the information on DESCRIPTION files in the chapter 'Creating R > packages' of the 'Writing R Extensions' manual. I don't see anything obvious in that part of the R-exts but FWIW, here is my DESCRIPTION file: > Package: multivator > Type: Package > Title: A multivariate emulator > Version: 1.0-1 > Depends: R(>= 2.10.0), emulator, methods, utils > Date: 2009-10-27 > Author: Robin K. S. Hankin > Maintainer: <hankin.robin_nospamAT_gmail.com> > Description: A multivariate generalization of the emulator package > License: GPL-2 > LazyLoad: yes I think that the lines in question in my package are: > setClass("mdm", # "mdm" == "multivariate design matrix" > representation = representation( > xold = "matrix", > types = "factor" > ) > ) > > > setGeneric("mdm",function(xold,types){standardGeneric("mdm")}) > setMethod("mdm",signature("matrix","factor"),function(xold, types){ > new("mdm", xold=xold, types=types) > } ) which appear to execute without warning on a virgin console. In the package, there are three or four other S4 classes which are on the same footing as the mdm class, but do not appear to generate a warning from R CMD check. The same happens AFAICS on R-2.13, 53543 Can anyone advise on how to deal with the warning? thank you Robin -- Robin K. S.
