In my package's zzz.R, I put .Last.lib <- function(libpath) { unloadNamespace("mypackage") }
and I exported .Last.lib in NAMESPACE, with the intent that detaching the package would also cause the name space to be unloaded. However, the result of detach("package:mypackage") is then Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)?<environment: namespace:mypackage> <environment: namespace:mypackage> Error in library.dynam.unload("mypackage", libpath) : shared library 'mypackage' was not loaded Error in as.character(<environment>) : cannot coerce to vector Error in unregisterNamespace(nsname) : name space not registered <environment: namespace:mypackage> Error in library.dynam.unload("mypackage", libpath) : shared library 'mypackage' was not loaded Error in as.character(<environment>) : cannot coerce to vector Error in unregisterNamespace(nsname) : name space not registered <environment: namespace:mypackage> Error in library.dynam.unload("mypackage", libpath) : shared library 'mypackage' was not loaded Error in as.character(<environment>) : cannot coerce to vector Error in unregisterNamespace(nsname) : name space not registered <environment: namespace:mypackage> Error in library.dynam.unload("mypackage", libpath) : shared library 'mypackage' was not loaded Error in as.character(<environment>) : cannot coerce to vector Error in unregisterNamespace(nsname) : name space not registered <environment: namespace:mypackage> Error in library.dynam.unload("mypackage", libpath) : shared library 'mypackage' was not loaded Error in as.character(<environment>) : cannot coerce to vector Error in unregisterNamespace(nsname) : name space not registered <environment: namespace:mypackage> Error in library.dynam.unload("mypackage", libpath) : shared library 'mypackage' was not loaded Error in as.character(<environment>) : cannot coerce to vector Error in unregisterNamespace(nsname) : name space not registered <environment: namespace:mypackage> Error in library.dynam.unload("mypackage", libpath) : shared library 'mypackage' was not loaded Error in as.character(<environment>) : cannot coerce to vector Error in unregisterNamespace(nsname) : name space not registered Error in detach(pos) : detaching "package:base" is not allowed Error in detach(pos) : detaching "package:base" is not allowed Error in detach(pos) : detaching "package:base" is not allowed With a hundred more or so of the last error. What is the correct way (if any) to unload a name space using detach() alone ?
