How to fix package "no item called": pkg "in search list" without using library (pkg)?
I am writing a package called testpkg and have placed quantmod in the Depends section of the DESCRIPTION file.
I wrote the following functions:
#' hello1
#'
#' @return NA
#' @export
hello1 <- function() {
print("hello1!")
quantmod::is.HLC("Hello, world!")
}
#' hello2
#'
#' @return NA
#' @export
hello2 <- function () {
x <- structure(c(25.85, 25.639999, 26.700001, 26.26, 26.92, 27.870001,
25.26, 25.52, 26.66, 25.610001, 26.85, 27.74, 26352700, 32512200,
64264600, 25.610001, 26.85, 27.74),
.indexCLASS = "Date", tclass = "Date", .indexTZ = "UTC", tzone = "UTC",
src = "yahoo", updated = structure(1437653990.9303, class = c("POSIXct",
"POSIXt")),
class = c("xts", "zoo"), index = structure(c(1167782400,
1167868800, 1167955200),
tzone = "UTC",
tclass = "Date"),
.Dim = c(3L, 6L), .Dimnames = list(NULL, c("YHOO.Open", "YHOO.High", "YHOO.Low",
"YHOO.Close", "YHOO.Volume", "YHOO.Adjusted")))
print(x)
quantmod::chartSeries(x)
}
Now when I go to the project and run testpkg::hello1()
I get the expected output.
However, if I run testpkg::hello2()
, I can see what x
is printed, but no graph is generated. I am getting the error:
Error in as.environment("package:quantmod") :
no item called "package:quantmod" on the search list
I know I can fix this by calling library(quantmod)
before making the call testpkg::hello2()
, but it seems strange to me that it testpkg::hello1()
can work without errors without calling library(quantmod)
. What is the reason for this and is there an alternative way to start testpkg::hello2()
without calling first library(quantmod)
?
