Solution to the "checking examples ... ERROR"

[nvietto]

I was getting the error below for a package I'm working on, I don't know if anyone has gotten this error but the solution is to head to the "man" file in your project and delete the hello.Rd file. The file automatically thrown in when you create a package using the project drop down feature in RStudio.

❯ checking examples ... ERROR
Running examples in ‘packagename-Ex.R’ failed
The error most likely occurred in:

base::assign(".ptime", proc.time(), pos = "CheckExEnv")

Name: hello

Title: Hello, World!

Aliases: hello

** Examples

hello()
Error in hello() : could not find function "hello"
Execution halted

Might be useful to remove the automatic hello.Rd file from that option or add a note.

Thanks!

I can't replicate this (and, even if I could, it would really be an RStudio problem). The package RStudio creates for me does contain man/hello.Rd. But it also defines a function hello() in R/hello.R and exports it via the NAMESPACE. I can immediately pass R CMD check with devtools::check().
