`compare_proxy`not found

Recently, I get following errors from doing check(). When doing test() everything passes. What could be a reason?

Error ('test-createFolders.R:15:3'): createFolders: create directory ──
Error in `get(genname, envir = envir)`: object 'compare_proxy' not found

test:

test_that("createFolders: create directory", {

  temp_dir <- tempfile()
  if(dir.exists(temp_dir))
    unlink(temp_dir, recursive = TRUE)

  createFolders(temp_dir)

  my_dirs <- basename(list.dirs(temp_dir, recursive = FALSE))

  expect_identical(sort(my_dirs), c("archive", "overall", "projects"))
})

Where:

createFolders <- function(folder){

    FOLDERS <- c("projects", "overall", "archive")

    if(!dir.exists(folder))
        stop("folder exists")

    # create folder
    dir.create(campaign_folder)
    # create subfolders
    purrr::walk(file.path(folder, FOLDERS), dir.create)
}

Also I have some other tests that create xlsx document using openxlsx::write.xlsx. It seems that they fail also when using check(). Like I said, this did not happen before, it started after I've updated some R packages after installing package.

I experienced the same error. I reinstalled the development version of devtools from Github afterwards:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("r-lib/devtools")

I then restarted R, and it works as of this instance.

Hopefully that's useful!
