[Bioc-devel] CITATION error

[Shraddha Pai]

Hello BioC community,

I've recently added a CITATION file for our package "netDx".
The package description page on bioconductor.org shows an error
message: Important
note to the maintainer of the netDx package: An error occured while trying
to generate the citation from the CITATION file. This typically occurs when
the file contains R code that relies on the package to be installed e.g. it
contains calls to things like packageVersion() or packageDate() instead of
using meta$Version or meta$Date. See R documentation
<https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#CITATION-files>
for
more information.

However, when I install the package locally and run citation("netDx"), I
get the expected output (see below e-mail).

The CITATION file does not make function calls. Here are the contents:
c(bibentry(bibtype = "Article",
           key = "netDx-methods",
           title = "{netDx: interpretable patient classification using
integrated patient similarity networks}",
           author = c(
               person("Shraddha", "Pai"),
               person("Shirley", "Hui"),
               person("Ruth", "Isserlin"),
               person(c("Muhammad","A"), "Shah"),
               person("Hussam","Kaka"),
               person(c("Gary", "D."), "Bader")
           ),
           year = 2019,
           journal = "Molecular Systems Biology",
           volume = "15",
           pages = "e8497",
           doi = "10.15252/msb.20188497",
           pubmed = "30872331",
           header = "The netDx algorithm is described in:"),
bibentry(bibtype = "Article",
           key = "netDx-software",
           title = "{netDx: Software for building interpretable patient
classifiers by multi-'omic data integration using patient similarity
networks}",
           author = c(
               person("Shraddha", "Pai"),
               person("Philipp", "Weber"),
               person("Ruth", "Isserlin"),
               person("Hussam","Kaka"),
               person("Shirley", "Hui"),
               person(c("Muhammad","A"), "Shah"),
               person("Luca", "Giudice"),
               person("Rosalba", "Giugno"),
               person(c("Anne","Krogh"), "Nøhr"),"
               person("Jan", "Baumbach"),
               person(c("Gary", "D."), "Bader")
           ),
           year = 2021,
           journal = "F1000Research",
           volume = "9",
           pages = "1239",
           doi = "10.12688/f1000research.26429.2",
           pubmed = "33628435",
           header = "The netDx package is described in:")

)

What can I change to fix the error on the bioconductor page?

Thank you,
Shraddha
