Prof, Ripley. I think I figured it out. I took the instructions for code_files to mean that you had to supply the path to the directory and not the paths to all the files within that directory.
I'll show my work below which should make clear the mistake that I made sessionInfo()R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13) Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] R.utils_1.7.5 R.oo_1.8.0 R.methodsS3_1.2.1 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.13.0 getwd()[1] "C:/Users/steve/Documents/GHCNPackage" list.files(full.names=TRUE)[1] "./d.R" "./f.R" filePath <- getwd() filePath[1] "C:/Users/steve/Documents/GHCNPackage" package.skeleton(name="testpackage",code_files=filePath)Error in file(file, "r") : cannot open the connectionIn addition: Warning message:In file(file, "r") : cannot open file 'C:/Users/steve/Documents/GHCNPackage': Permission denied # Looks like I need a path all the way to the file. # start with one file to test testFile <-file.path(filePath,"d.R",fsep=.Platform$file.sep) package.skeleton(name="testpackage",code_files=testFile)Creating directories ...Creating DESCRIPTION ...Creating Read-and-delete-me ...Copying code files ...Making help files ...Done.Further steps are described in './testpackage/Read-and-delete-me'. ?package.skeleton() testFile2 <-file.path(filePath,"f.R",fsep=.Platform$file.sep) package.skeleton(name="testpackage",code_files=c(testFile,testFile2))Creating directories ...Error in package.skeleton(name = "testpackage", code_files = c(testFile, : directory './testpackage' already exists package.skeleton(name="testpackage",code_files=c(testFile,testFile2))Creating directories ...Creating DESCRIPTION ...Creating Read-and-delete-me ...Copying code files ...Making help files ...Done.Further steps are described in './testpackage/Read-and-delete-me'. Success. I assumed that you just passed in the directory that contained all the source Files and that all the files in that directory ending in .R would be used.
