[R-pkg-devel] [External] Re: Confusing error

Thank you [and Josiah Parry] for your help; I had already seen that
PracTools uses `survey` but only suggests it, and I was unsure what to do
on my end since I was getting in trouble whether I imported it or not. I
will try doing what you suggest.

Since the call to PracTools::deffCR is essential to this package, I will
do the second suggestion.

Best,
Aaron

The PracTools::deffCR function calls survey::svydesign.  It only
suggests the survey package, so it is not necessarily available.

What you could do is also suggest survey, then add a test for its
presence before calling PracTools::deffCR.  Or if that call is
essential, then you should import survey, and add some innocuous direct
reference to it to quiet the NOTE.

The main code is in R/surveynnet.R.

Re: your suggestion, do you mean I should de-install the survey package?
I will try that, but would appreciate any additional help in the
meantime so I?m linking my github above.

Best,

Aaron

Hello,

I am trying to submit an R package to CRAN. There are no notes,

comments or errors when checking on my local machine, but I keep getting an
error message when submitting. I am attaching the log file, but basically
the error occurs when running the examples.  In particular, it says

Error in loadNamespace(x) : there is no package called 'survey'

However, my package does not use the ?survey? package, and when I

include this package to the Imports field in the DESCRIPTION file, it gives
the following NOTE:

checking dependencies in R code ... NOTE
   Namespace in Imports field not imported from: ?survey?
     All declared Imports should be used.


How do I resolve this issue?

I'd remove the survey package on your system, and try running the
example that fails.  If you get the same error, you can track it down.
