Hello,


I hope that this email finds you all well. Any help with the following
error messages that I am getting when I run devtools::check() on my
package would be greatly appreciated. I think that it is a Namespace
error - but when I try to export my function, it doesn't pass the
install check of the devtools check.

Thank you in advance!

The error most likely occurred in:

** running examples for arch 'x64' ... ERROR
Running examples in 'MDSPlot-Ex.R' failed
The error most likely occurred in:
Error in PlotMDS() : could not find function "PlotMDS"

Dear Adrian,

Answering this would be much easier when you have access to the code.

Dear Adrian,

I think the problem is rather obvious: plotMDS cannot be found. So if this
is a function of your own package, you forgot to export it. If it's a
function from another package, the package isn't loaded so it should be
added as Depends, Imports or Suggests. And when added as Suggests, you need
a library() statement in your example to load the function.

But as far as I can judge from the little info you gave, exporting the
function should do it.
