Thank you so much for the help!

The origin of this mistake was mine - I forgot a ' following a # in my roxygen example code - which meant roxygen ignored the closing parens on the next line. (See example)

\donttest{
#' # You can also pass additional arguments to predictInterval through REimpact
#' g1 <- lmer(y ~ lectage + studage + (1|d) + (1|s), data=InstEval)
#' zed <- REimpact(g1, newdata = InstEval[9:12, ], groupFctr = "d", n.sims = 50,
#'                 include.resid.var = TRUE)
#' zed2 <- REimpact(g1, newdata = InstEval[9:12, ], groupFctr = "s", n.sims = 50,
#'                  include.resid.var = TRUE)
#' zed3 <- REimpact(g1, newdata = InstEval[9:12, ], groupFctr = "d", breaks = 5,
#                 n.sims = 50, include.resid.var = TRUE)
#' }

Thanks everyone for the help. I never would have found this mistake without this list.

Perhaps roxygen should try parsing the code it inserts as examples. It can probably give a better error message than R could, since it knows which .R file it's looking at when the problem happens.

    I also get this error on MacOS.

    The problem is in the REimpact help file.  It contains this:

    zed3 <- REimpact(g1, newdata = InstEval[9:12, ], groupFctr = "d",
    breaks
    = 5,

    and there's no closing paren.

    This is in a \donttest section of the examples, so it gets deleted when
    running the examples, and that's the version of merTools-Ex.R that is
    left at the end.  But the warning happened in a different test,

    * checking for unstated dependencies in examples ... WARNING
    Warning: parse error in file 'merTools-Ex.R':
    1: unexpected symbol
    118: cleanEx()
    119: nameEx
           ^

    and it is based on a different version of that file that doesn't omit
    the \donttest section.

    This is arguably an R bug:  the line numbers are misleading, since they
    refer to a version of the file that no longer exists.  Perhaps when you
    say \donttest, no tests should be done.
