Hi Guys,
I suspect that this entry from news() for 3.6.0 is relevant:
"When loading namespaces, S3 method registrations which overwrite
previous registrations are now noted by default (using
packageStartupMessage())."
Always a good idea to read the NEWS file with a x.y point release.
Peter usually includes it in his release announcement e-mail:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2019-April/462510.html
OK. This seems to be the issue. Basically I guess I could just ignore
the messages --- but I'd really rather not see them.
The news() says they are printed by "default". How can I move away from
the default?
I presume that I need to invoke the suppressPackageStartupMessages()
function, but it is not at all clear to me just how I should do this.
Perhaps I should put a call to this function in a *.R file
(e.g. "First.R") in my R directory.
I've experimented with various ideas; none so far have worked. The
function suppressPackageStartupMessages() takes an argument "expr". It
is not clear what "expr" should be in this context.
Perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree.
Any advice?
cheers,
Rolf
