p.s. I filed
I reported an "issue" on GitHub with title, "devtools::load_all()
infinite recursion #2617" suggesting that load_all() be modified to
prevent an infinite recursion:

Thanks again to Duncan -- and to this email list more generally.

Hi, Duncan:
That's not just weird, it's the source of the infinite loop.
Please excuse me for taking your time with this.
Thanks very much. Spencer Graves

You're doing one strange thing: the only code in the package is
devtools::load_all()
in the single .R file. That's a weird thing to do.

Hello, All:
GitHub Action has been running on 5 platforms for over a half hour on a
tiny package:
https://github.com/sbgraves237/SS4Maddison
I'm trying to follow the current recommendation in Wickham and Bryan, R
Packages.[1] I just added ~R/MaddisonProjectData.R, documenting data
objects I have yet to add to the package, attempting to follow the
instructions in R Packages, section 7.1.2 Documenting datasets.[2]
Then "devtools::load_all()" on my local computer put R into an apparent
infinite loop.[3] After breaking out of that, I managed to replicate the
behavior on 5 platforms on GitHub Action.
What do you suggest?
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
