errorReprex

reproducible example of an R package install error

the command R CMD INSTALL errorReprex fails in the error branch. Error message and session Info displayed below. In the no_error branch there is no failure. The only difference between the two branches is the presence of import(emayili) in the NAMESPACE file in the error branch.

Also neither branch fails if the installed package version of emayili is <= 0.4.15

Steps to reproduce

Setup

# [optional run on docker image]
docker run -it rocker/tidyverse bash

git clone https://github.com/adam-gruer/errorReprex.git

Rscript -e 'install.packages("emayili")'

Error

R CMD INSTALL errorReprex

No error

cd errorReprex

git checkout no_error

cd ..

R CMD INSTALL errorReprex

Install earlier version of emayili

Rscript -e 'devtools::install_version("emayili", "0.4.15")
