Hi
I'm having difficulty making a package pass R CMD check.
I need to read in a dataset from another package, modify it, and have the
modified object available in the first package. help(require) says:
The source code for a package that requires one or more other
packages should have a call to 'require', preferably near the
beginning of the source, and of course before any code that uses
functions, classes or methods from the other package.
and 200update.txt points out that the data/*.R files must be self
sufficient, suggesting "require(pkg, quietly=TRUE, save=FALSE)"
if needed. My .R file in the data subdirectory looks like this:
require(calibrator, quietly=TRUE, save=FALSE)
data(expert.estimates, package="calibrator")
<paraphrase>
expert.estimates.modified <- some.function(expert.estimates)
</paraphrase>
But if I do this, R CMD check says
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function "data"
Execution halted
ERROR: installing package indices failed
ERROR
Installation failed.
[the package passes R CMD check if I cut-and-paste a dput and assign
expert.estimates.modified
directly, and dispense with the data() statement].
How do I load a dataset from another package in a .R file, and use it?
