similar to: install packages with missing pkg argument

Are you running that command in RStudio? And do you get the documented results when you run utils::install.packages() rather than just install.packages() If yes, then the function is likely working as advertised and you've mixed up the R and RStudio versions On 29/07/2019, Ant F <antoine.fabri at gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all, > > The help for `?install.packages` decribes, in

Dear R-devel, The most popular piping operator sits in the package `magrittr` and is used by a huge amount of users, and imported /reexported by more and more packages too. Many workflows don't even make much sense without pipes nowadays, so the examples in the doc will use pipes, as do the README, vignettes etc. I believe base R could have a piping operator so packages can use a pipe in

Hi John, Thanks, but the Bizzaro pipe comes with many flaws though : * It's not a single operator * It has a different precedence * It cannot be used in a subcall * The variable assigned to must be on the right * It doesn't trigger indentation when going to the line * It creates/overwrite a `.` variable in the worksace. And it doesn't deal gracefully with some lazy evaluation edge

Trace adds something to the body of the function, so it does make sense that it doesn't. Whether traced functions still technically meet the definition of standard s3 generic or not is, I suppose, up for debate, but I would say that they should, I think. As before, if desired I can work on a patch for this if desired, or someone on R-core can just take care of it if that is easier. Best, ~G

Please note that this is documented in ?trace. "fun" is matched to what, it is a _name_ of the function to be traced, which is traced in the top-level environment. I don't know why it was designed this way, but it is documented in detail, and hence the expected behavior. Debugging is often, and also in R, implemented in the core. Tracing is implemented on top without specific

Fixed now with - while(as.character(bdexpr[[1L]]) == "{") + while(is.call(bdexpr) && (as.character(bdexpr[[1L]]) == "{")) (the suggested fix does not work on

Dear R-devel, I don't think this is expected : foo <- function() "hello" trace2 <- function(fun) trace(fun, quote(print("!!!"))) base::fun # Object with tracing code, class "functionWithTrace" # Original definition: # function() "hello" # # ## (to see the tracing code, look at body(object)) `untrace()` has the same behavior. This is

Yes but this exageration precisely misses the point. Concerning your examples: * I love fread but I think it makes a lot of subjective choices that are best associated with a package. I think it changed a lot with time and can still change, and we have great developers willing to maintain it and be reactive regarding feature requests or bug reports *.group_by() adds a class that works only (or

Dear R-devel, I found this behavior disturbing, if `1 + f()` is called, `sys.call()` called inside of `f` will return a quoted `f()` with a "srcref" that prints "1 + f()". I don't know which one is good but I don't think they can be correct at the same time. Here's a reproducible example: f <- function(){ sc <- sys.call() print(sc) attr(sc,

Dear R-devel, utils::isS3stdGeneric tries to subset the body of the function it's fed, primitives don't like that because they don't have a body, identity doesn't like it either because it's body is a symbol. According to the doc, any function is a legal input. See below: identity #> function (x) #> x #> <bytecode: 0x0000000013d6da28> #> <environment:

Do I understand correctly that we don't want Rd files to be valid latex ? This seems odd to me. I see that `tools::parse_Rd()` doesn't like `\verb!foo!` so maybe roxygen2 is actually doing the right thing (as opposed to just trying to) ? `parse_Rd() ` is probably what I need indeed, for some reason I hadn't found it, so that should fix my own issue here thanks a lot. Le ven. 21 juil.

I am probably mistaken but it looks to me like the design of much of the data.frame infrastructure not only does not insist you give columns names, but even has all kinds of options such as check.names and fix.empty.names https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/base/versions/3.6.2/topics/data.frame During the lifetime of a column, it can get removed, renamed, transfomed in many ways and so on. A

I noticed the recent commit to R-dev (r79434). Is this wise? I've often used get() in constructions like for (j in ls()) if (is.numeric(x <- get(j))) ... (and often interactively, rather than in a package) Am I to understand that get(j) will now be equivalent to `j` even if j is a string referring putatively to another object?

Dear R-devel, The doc of exists, get and get0 is unambiguous, x should be an object given as a character string. However these accept longer inputs. It can lead an uncareful user to think these functions are vectorized when they're not, and generally lets through bugs that one might have preferred to trigger earlier failure. ``` r exists("d") #> [1] FALSE exists(c("c",

Surprisingly this invalid latex syntax is still formatted "right" in the html output. On a closer look it seems like roxygen2 introduces those, when using markdown backtick quoting, if the quoted content is not syntactic. For instance: #' `c(c(1)` #' `c(c(1))` Will convert the first line to `\verb{c(c(1)}` and the second to `\code{c(c(1))}`. I've opened a ticket there FYI:

dear r-devel, This has probably been forever like this but is this satisfying ? all.equal(c(1,NA,NA), c(1,NA,3)) #> [1] "'is.NA' value mismatch: 1 in current 2 in target" is.NA() doesn't exist (is.na() does), and is.na() is never 1 or 2. In this example it's obvious that we're counting missing values, in a general situation I believe it isn't (we might
