Failed to build the package about agbfluxes HOT 8 CLOSED

Do you have data.talble installed? Maybe close all other R sessions, restart R, and re-install data.table.

Also, data.table should be listed under Imports: in DESCRIPTION. You can add it manually or via `usethis::use_package("data.table").

Then document with devtools::document() and re run devtools::check().

I see. I think it is looking into the standard library, whereas I am storing packages into an external R library. Will update that too. Any chance to point toward a "non-standard" lib location?
Thanks for your prompt reply

I reinstalled "data.table", check that it was mentioned in Imports, rerun document(), but it still crash with the same message...

Hey Mauro, could you connect to Github and try to build the package as it is? I'd be curious to see if you can do it or not. I don't understand what is happening with data.table. I am sure you will.
Thanks

To my understanding, it is wrongly written "data.table**,**" somewhere (instead of "data.table") ... and it as a fact can't find the package. How shall I locate where this is wrongly written?
Thanks

Found it!!! It was in damned NAMESPACE!!

Great you solved it. I'm curious about how NAMESPACE got corrupt. It's not supposed to be edited manually

# Generated by roxygen2: do not edit by hand

But I have experienced similar issues. I never edit NAMESPACE manually but when I'm stuck I delete it and re-document with devtools::document() -- which re-creates NAMESPACE and often fixes the problem. I never bothered to track the problem to see what I did wrong or if it's an issue I should report to roxygen2. But if you know what happended please let me know.

BTW, you can update the data in inst/extdata/data manually. Then you'll need to re-install the package (devtools::install()) to copy that data from your project into the installed folder in your chosen library.
