I believe there is an error in the summary.warnings function (typically called via 'summary(warnings())'). Below is a minimal working example:
######### testfunction <- function(x){ if(x > 30){ warning("A big problem (should be 20 of these)") }else{ warning("Bigger problem (should be 30 of these)") } } for(i in 1:50){ testfunction(i) } summary(warnings()) ######### I checked the code for summary.warnings: function (object, ...) { msgs <- names(object) calls <- as.character(object) ss <- ": " c.m. <- paste(calls, msgs, sep = ss) if (length(i.no.call <- which(calls == "NULL"))) c.m.[i.no.call] <- substr(c.m.[i.no.call], nchar(paste0("NULL", ss)) + 1L, 100000L) tm <- table(c.m., deparse.level = 0L) structure(unique(object), counts = as.vector(tm), class = "summary.warnings") } The problem appears to be in the last line: unique preserves the order of the input, but counts reflects the counts in the table tm, which is a problem because table names are in alphabetical order.
