Dear package developers,

I likely miss something silly, but I fail to find the root cause. I used to have my package data in sysdata.rda, even though I exported some of them for the users' direct use. With my new package CAs, I now want to move those files that are meant both for user information and for the inner workings of the package to the data/ folder, and I use "LazyData: true" in the description. The files are in the data folder as single rda files, and their documentation R files are in the R folder.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to make the data visible during the checks. The checks keep throwing notes "no visible binding for global variable ...", and the examples fail, because the data from the folder data are not found. This happens regardless whether --as-cran is active or not.

However, the package installs OK, the help files for the data objects are there, and the example code that failed the checks runs without problems. I have made sure that the objects from the data folder were not in the workspace prior to loading the package, i.e., the installed package appears to have them available. I have also installed the package before running the checks, without success. Perhaps I should also mention that I am on Windows, and (still) use R 4.3.0, though I do not expect that to be the root cause for the problem.

Does someone have pointers how I can make the checks find the data files?

Best, Ulrike
