I'm trying to update a package and would like to crush a WARNING message for a clean build.
I've been struggling with this question and haven't gotten any traction on the web either. I've got a document file (Rd) that contains the following \usage statement: \name{sample.data} \alias{sample.data} \title{CONIFERS forest growth model sample data} \description{ A list object of type \code{sample.data} stores all of the basic information about a \code{\link{data.frame}} object representing a sample of plants.} \usage{ x <- list( plots=data.frame(), plants=data.frame(), age=0, x0=0.0, n.years.projected=0 ) class(x) <- "sample.data" } When I run R CMD check [pkg], I get the following WARNING: * checking Rd \usage sections ... WARNING Assignments in \usage in documentation object 'sample.data': x <- list(plots, plants, age = 0, x0 = 0, n.years.projected = 0) class(x) <- "sample.data" Functions with \usage entries need to have the appropriate \alias entries, and all their arguments documented. The \usage entries must correspond to syntactically valid R code. See the chapter 'Writing R documentation files' in manual 'Writing R Extensions'. * checking Rd contents ... OK I'm not sure if there's a problem with the \alias section or the \usage section or both sections (I'm assuming this is the case). I've read the Chapter 2 of R-ext.pdf plenty and just can't seem to see where I'm blowing it. Respectfully, Jeff.
