[R-pkg-devel] Warnings and notes while building package with nimble

Hi,

I am trying to submit a package to CRAN built using nimble. It generates warnings like so:

: no visible global function definition for  'nimDim'

and fails automatic checks by CRAN. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Aritra

Hi Aritra,

It would be helpful if we can explore the package source code. It helps to
provide a more accurate answer.

But you will find some other cases on the archive of the mailing list with
similar messages.
The message indicates that the static code analyzer hasn't detected the
definition of the object but detected it is used.
This is often the case if you use subset, within or dplyr, ggplot2,
data.table or other packages that use delayed evaluation.
To solve it, it might be as simple as writing nimDim <- NULL inside your
package or there might be a real issue there.

Best,

Llu?s

Or call utils::globalVariables(c("nimDim")) where, if needed, you could add
to that argument vector any other variables listed as global. 

Cheers, Dirk

Which package?

            

      
      
      
    

        
and you have not forgot to import nlmDim()?
