[R-pkg-devel] error when submit a package

Good afternoon,

I am trying to submit my package to CRAN, and it failed to pass the checks due to 5 notes. I am wondering how to fix it.

Within the 5 notes, some are not fixable.
Thanks.
Best,
Wei



Dear maintainer,

package postGGIR_2.0.0.tar.gz does not pass the incoming checks automatically, please see the following pre-tests:

Windows: <https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/postGGIR_2.0.0_20200626_200952/Windows/00check.log>

Status: 5 NOTEs

Debian: <https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/postGGIR_2.0.0_20200626_200952/Debian/00check.log>

Status: 6 NOTEs

Did you not post this before and receive answers? Please explain why the
previous answers were insufficient. "Some notes are not fixable" is not a
satisfactory response.

Well,


The first note can be ignored (Note that you are the maintainer),


the second one

```

Maintainer: 'Wei Guoi <wei.guo3 at nih.gov>'
  Authors at R:  'Wei Guo <wei.guo3 at nih.gov>'

```

clearly, you miss spelled your name...


the third one,

```

checking package dependencies ... NOTE
Package suggested but not available for checking: 'actigraphy'

```

This stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51453717/issue-with-r-package-check-on-windows-package-suggested-but-not-available-str can solve you problem



the fourth one

```

IV_long2: no visible binding for global variable 'IV'
Time_long2: no visible global function definition for 'wear_flag'

```

It looks like you are using some variables not well defined in your namespace, try to search "IV" and "wear_flag" in your package. Both of them seem missing somehow.


the fifth

```

Package vignette with placeholder title 'Vignette Title':

```

To be honest, I have no idea. What I suppose is that you use some illegal chars in your vignette title.  It would be helpful if your share your rmakrdown ymal.

#
* The fourth can likely be addressed by if(getRversion() >= "2.15.1")
utils::globalVariables(c("IV", "M", "filename2id", "wear_flag"))

See https://github.com/tidyverse/magrittr/issues/29

* The fifth suggests you need to replace the default vignette title
with something specific to your package.

* The sixth (on Debian) could be fixed by adding
STUDYNAME_part0.maincall.R to .Rbuildignore. But the filename suggests
you need that file in your R directory, not ignored...

Hope that helps.

No, wrong analysis. This SO answer is for _within CRAN_ depedency graphs.

Mr Guo has a problem with a package _outside of CRAN_ he chooses to depends
upon. That will *never work*.

I answered on this list _just yesterday_ how I would address this, including
a relevant peer-review reference. If Mr Gup chooses to ignore such advice and
just spams us daily I suppose we may choose to ignore his emails. Oh well.

Thank you all for the help. I do ask a question about a package _outside of CRAN yesterday. But I have new questions today about the global variable undefined, which was read from an Rdata object.

Thank you for your kind help again.
Best,
Wei
