Hi folks,
This is similar to this but with a followup question:
I'm preparing my package for submission to CRAN. In one script, it gives the titular error:
Error in as.environment(pos): no item called "package:shapefiles" on the search list
or
Error during wrapup: no item called "package:shapefiles" on the search list
If, like the similar thread linked above, I add
attachNamespace("shapefiles")
Then I no longer get that error, but instead get the error or warning:
namespace(shapefiles) was already taken
Sometimes, I believe if the function/script is run more than once. What's so weird about this to me is that
#' @import shapefiles
is in that scripts markdown block,
Which means
import(shapefiles)
is in NAMESPACE, and
Imports:
shapefiles (>= 0.7),
is in DESCRIPTION. I have numerous other package dependencies which are imported the same way (correctly, I believe), and none of them produce this error. I don't see why this is behaving differently therefore, and would like to avoid having either issue before submitting to CRAN. The code that calls this package, in my script, is
shapefiles::read.shapefile(savename)
Script is here, for reference.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
