[R-pkg-devel] Fixed for messages

Thanks Henrik:

I am a little slow,  I want to make certain I do this correctly.  I already have knitr in my Suggests,  and the message is:

knitr::rmarkdown

So do I put in my Suggests list  rmarkdown or knitr::rmarkdown

And most importantly,  thanks for the explanation about what is happening with R-devel.  Of the responses I have seen,  it is the first one (at least to me) that is clear what is going on to cause the errors,  and how to approach correcting them.

Hi All:

In tesitng a package on winbuild-devel (but not on release)  I get the following errors or warnings:

Warning in engine$weave(file, quiet = quiet, encoding = enc) :
 The vignette engine knitr::rmarkdown is not available, because the rmarkdown package is not installed. Please install it.

There was an email about this a few days ago,  but then,  as now,  it is not clear to me specifically what I need to do where so that I don't get this warning.  Do I need to include rmarkdown in the Suggests,

Yes, add it to Suggests.

 or do I need to do something specific in the Vignette.  Or is this
just a question that winbuild hasn't installed it yet in the
development version and I can ignore it for now?

Also I am getting this error (again only in the development version):

Error: processing vignette 'Usingxtractomatic.Rmd' failed with diagnostics:
there is no package called 'webshot'

Now I don't explicitly use a package called 'webshot',  but the lines referenced in the error message are:

require("DT")
DT::datatable(searchResult)

where "searchResult" is just a list.   DT itself does not explicitly import "webshot" either.

It most likely depend on 'webshot' indirectly through some of your
package dependencies.  So, add this one too to Suggests.

As far as I understand it, the new R-devel tests basically tests your
package with the minimal setup of packages (a "sandboxed" .libPaths())
inferred from you DESCRIPTION (by excluding Suggests of the packages
you depend on, which is where I think 'webshot' lives).

/Henrik

I would like to submit this package,  but I don't want to submit with any errors or warnings. Again,  I only get these on winbuild-devel.

Thanks for any help.

-Roy
