[R-pkg-devel] Package check help: Package required but not available
Hi David, When looking at apaDvalueTable.R, there's nothing that prevents the MBESS::ci.msd() call to be executed when show.conf.interval is FALSE. Even then the function will calculate it, just not show the result. So running your example on Solaris will still give you an error. You'll have to add an extra condition to prevent this. On a sidenote: please use message() instead of cat() to send messages to the user. Then anyone who doesn't want to see them (eg bcs they do a simulation) can simply use suppressMessages() for that. Cheers Joris

Hi Everyone, I?m new to this list but hopefully you can help me. I?m working on updating my apaTables package (most recent code: https://github.com/dstanley4/apaTables) However, I?m encountering problems passing the CRAN check because of a package I use (MBESS). MBESS is available on all platforms except r-patched-solaris-x86 (see https://cran.r-project.org/ web/checks/check_results_apaTables.html) To work around this I did three things that have not worked. 1) I modified the DESCRIPTION file. I moved MBESS from Imports to Suggests 2) I manipulated a flag (show.confidence.interval) in my file apaDvalueTable.R show that it is always FALSE if the following is FALSE: requireNamespace("MBESS", quietly = TRUE) . That is, if the package is not there do no calculate the confidence intervals that require it. But I still fail the check. Is this perhaps because I didn?t wrap the MBESS command on line 97 with an ?if? using requireNamespace? This command will never be executed without the package though because of the flag. 3) I also wrapped a command that uses MBESS in apaRegressionTable.R (line 276) that uses MBESS. Any help much appreciated in resolving this "Package required but not available? problem. (Detailed CRAN message below. Fixing the Notes issues are easy.)
