could not find function "%>%" - what am I doing wrong?

[francisbarton]

I've used usethis::use_pipe() to create a file utils-pipe.R that loads the magrittr pipe.

utils-pipe.R

#' Pipe operator
#'
#' See \code{magrittr::\link[magrittr:pipe]{\%>\%}} for details.
#'
#' @name %>%
#' @rdname pipe
#' @keywords internal
#' @importFrom magrittr %>%
#' @export
#' @usage lhs \%>\% rhs
#' @param lhs A value or the magrittr placeholder.
#' @param rhs A function call using the magrittr semantics.
#' @return The result of calling `rhs(lhs)`.
NULL

I've also got magrittr in the Imports: section of the DESCRIPTION file.

    dplyr,

    purrr,

    tmap

When I am in my package project in RStudio, and I use devtools::load_all("."), and then try to run a line of code using %>%, I get the error:

could not find function "%>%"

If I then actually attach the package with library() and run the line of code, I still get the error.
My belief was that either load_all() or library($my_pkg)ought to load the pipe and avoid this error. I've also not had this problem in other packages I've developed.

I can get round it by doing library(dplyr) or whatever, but I'd like to correct my understanding and work out why the pipe is not already loaded. Any ideas please?

You need to run devtools::document() to parse the added Rd annotations and generate the NAMESPACE entries.

After that it should work how you expect.

That's done it - thanks Jim.
I was using load_all() as a shortcut to avoid running a full check.
