Re: [R-pkg-devel] Confusion about what should be in Imports for a package with a shiny app

Duncan,

As always, your answer is helpful. What you wrote agrees with my original 
understanding. I was somehow mislead by my interpretation of earlier tesing 
output and got on the wrong track. 

You are correct that the intent of the package is to enable more skilled users 
to use the package interactively or in their own scripts and applications. I 
will modify the DESCRIPTION file accordingly.

[R-pkg-devel] Confusion about what should be in Imports for a package with a shiny app

2021-03-24 Thread R. Mark Sharp
I have a package (nprcgenekeepr) in which some packages listed in the 
DESCRIPTION file are used only within the shiny app scripts. For my prior CRAN 
submission (successful), I placed such packages in the Suggests section of the 
DESCRIPTION file. This time testing sites seemed to have directed me to place 
them in the Imports section and I now have multiple test environments (3 R-hub 
builder, 3 winbuilder, and 3 Travis-ci) that are showing no errors, warnings, 
or notes with that placement. However, the package check page 
https://cran.rstudio.com//web/checks/check_results_nprcgenekeepr.html site is 
showing the wrong package version (1.0.3 instead of 1.0.5) and some 
environments with a note of "Namespace in Imports field not imported from: 
‘shinyBS’ All declared Imports should be used.”

I changed the function call from `popify` to `shinyBS::popify` and get the same 
results

I moved shinyBS to Suggests and I get the same note.

I also have shinyWidgets used within the same UI script and listed in the 
Imports section and it does not generate a note.

It appears that I have a basic misunderstanding of the message in the note and 
of where the `shinyBS` package should be listed within the DESCRIPTION file.

Help will be appreciated.

Spencer,

I apologize for my obvious (in hindsight) error in bringing up the topic. I 
will bring up one example, because of your request. Google has listed GPL-1, 2, 
and 3 as one of several licenses that are restricted and cannot be used by a 
Google product delivered to outside customers. This include downloadable client 
software and software such as insdie the Google Search Appliance. This includes 
having scripts that load packages dynamically as with “library()” and 
“require()”. Please see 
https://opensource.google/docs/thirdparty/licenses/#restricted for their 
wording. 

I am not defending their position and disagree with it. However, it is their 
position based on what I think is a conservative or overly cautious legal 
interpretation. I am not a lawyer, however, so my opinions are of no import.

Re: [R-pkg-devel] [R] a question of etiquette

2020-06-02 Thread R. Mark Sharp
Adelchi,

Actually, the person recognized wrote the original code for the algorithm and 
he has had other contributors over time that have made several improvements. 
The code I have is not verbatim from his package as it has been adapted for our 
purposes, but he is still the originator of the approach and I am certain he 
and others would recognize the code as being clearly deriviative. I have 
retained some of the same function names or near derivatives of those names. My 
coding style is different but that has not changed the basic logic.

With regard to licensing, we both use MIT, which I strongly prefer. The GPL-2 
and GPL-3 licenses are apparently sufficiently ambiguous in the legal community 
that some companies avoid them.

my package uses. I was asked by the CRAN reviewers to add the author of that

[R-pkg-devel] Examples for functions called by Shiny server

2020-03-15 Thread R. Mark Sharp
I have been asked to provide examples within the Rd files of my package 
(github.com/rmsharp/nprcgenekeepr <http://github.com/rmsharp/nprcgenekeepr>) by 
the CRAN package reviewer. I have to export those functions called by the 
server.R script (or use ::: notation), which in turn generates an Rd file that 
is to have the example. 

I cannot think of a meaningful example for a function that creates the content 
of a new Shiny tabpanel when an error is detected.

Suggestions are eagerly sought.

Should I ignore this problem with regard to going forward with a submission to

It looks like some CRAN packages that I am dependent on are not available on 
the Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS platform.

The following platforms have no errors or warnings and have only the “New

Roy, 

Thank you for your guidance and advice.

I ran usethis::use_cran_comments() shown below. 
> usethis::use_cran_comments()
✔ Setting active project to 
'/Users/msharp/Documents/Development/R/r_workspace/library/nprcmanager'
✔ Writing 'cran-comments.md'
✔ Adding '^cran-comments\\.md$' to '.Rbuildignore'
● Modify 'cran-comments.md’

The text of “cran-comments.md” follows and also makes me think it was a clean 
inspection:
## Test environments
* local OS X install, R 3.6.1
* ubuntu 14.04 (on travis-ci), R 3.6.1
* win-builder (devel and release)

## R CMD check results

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Change in normal random numbers between R 3.5.3 and R 3.6.0

2019-05-10 Thread R. Mark Sharp
Ulrike,

RNGkind() worked on 3.4.1 and 3.6.0 but generated a warning on R 3.5.3. The 
message follows:

 checking whether package ‘nprcmanager’ can be installed ... WARNING
Found the following significant warnings:
  Note: possible error in 'RNGkind(sample.kind = "Rounding")': unused argument 
(sample.kind = "Rounding") 
See ‘/tmp/RtmpA4S3Ki/file32b81c218ac8/nprcmanager.Rcheck/00install.out’ for 
details.
Information on the location(s) of code generating the ‘Note’s can be
obtained by re-running with environment variable R_KEEP_PKG_SOURCE set
to ‘yes’.

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Change in normal random numbers between R 3.5.3 and R 3.6.0

2019-05-09 Thread R. Mark Sharp
I was dealing with a similar issue but in the context of getting the same unit 
test code to work on multiple versions of R in a Travis-CI build. It seems 
RNGkind(sample.kind="Rounding”) does not work prior to version 3.6 so I 
resorted to using version dependent construction of the argument list to 
set.seed() in do.call().

I better solution will be greatly appreciated.

#' Work around for unit tests using sample()
#'
#' @param seed argument to \code{set.seed}
set_seed <- function(seed = 1) {
  version <- as.integer(R.Version()$major) + (as.numeric(R.Version()$minor) / 
10.0)
  if (version >= 3.6) {
args <- list(seed, sample.kind = "Rounding")
  } else {
args <- list(seed)
  }
  suppressWarnings(do.call(set.seed, args))
}

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Getting error: Installation failed: Unknown username with my package

2018-07-13 Thread R. Mark Sharp
Gabor,

You were exactly right. I do not think I would have caught that at all.

I had been going down the wrong path of thinking “Unknown username” was 
referring to the way I was referring to my own package.

I am very grateful, but I must add that I got more enjoyment out of Duncan’s 
quip.

[R-pkg-devel] Getting error: Installation failed: Unknown username with my package

2018-07-13 Thread R. Mark Sharp
I had a few week development hiatus with github.com/rmsharp/nprcmanager and 
when I tried to get a Travis build to work it failed. All of my local builds 
are working without errors or warnings, but the 
devtools::install_github(“rmsharp/nprcmanager”) fails with this error message


> library(devtools)
> install_github("rmsharp/nprcmanager")
Downloading GitHub repo rmsharp/nprcmanager@master
from URL https://api.github.com/repos/rmsharp/nprcmanager/zipball/master
Installing nprcmanager
Installation failed: Unknown username.

Two other packages of mine, one private rmsharp/renameSurgerySheets, and one 
public rmsharp/rmsutilityr both install fine.

Does anyone know what I may have broken or how?
