Thanks for the replies. I am still stuck, although agree it is most
likely due to change to R version 3.6.0. I did however manage to
create a dummy package that now does re-create the same error, this
required the inclusion of a data object. The R CMD build error occurs
regardless of whether there is a sysdata.rda in the R subdirectory,
and whether there is a datalist in the data subdirectory. Apologies
for the lengthy "code" that follows:
In R:
myCol <- rgb(0.9,0.5,0.5)
myPlot <- function(x){
plot(x, col = myCol)
return(NULL)
}
package.skeleton(name = "myPackage", list = c("myPlot", "myCol"))
"Optionally" in R:
save(list = c("myCol"), file = "sysdata.rda")
my DESCRIPTION file:
