[R-pkg-devel] cannot xtfrm data frames WARNING with R-devel

2 messages · J. Aravind, Sebastian Meyer

Dear R developers,
I am facing an issue while submitting update to my package PGRdup (https://github.com/aravind-j/PGRdup).
With R-devel Debian (2021-02-05 r7994) on submission a WARNING was reported as follows. .
.
.
.Quitting from lines 536-542 (Introduction.Rmd) 
Error: processing vignette ?Introduction.Rmd? failed with diagnostics:
cannot xtfrm data frames
--- failed re-building ?Introduction.Rmd?
.
.
.
.

I am unable to replicate the same locally with the same version (2021-02-05 r79941) in Ubuntu 18.
Is this a false positive ? How to resolve this issue for successful submission.


Best Regards
J. Aravind

You should be able to reproduce and trace back the error by setting the
environment variable

_R_STOP_ON_XTFRM_DATA_FRAME_=TRUE

while running your vignette code.

This is not a false positive. You are probably trying to
order(data.frame) somewhere. I think this will be disallowed in future
versions of R, following an R-devel thread from last year:
