[R] SOS package: findFn does not work

[Spencer Graves]

Thanks for the question.  Two things:


** 1.  TRY THE DEVELOPMENT VERSION OBTAINABLE AS FOLLOWS:


install.packages('devtools') # if it's not installed


library(devtools)


install_github("sbgraves237/sos")


library(sos)


  z <- findFn("spline", maxPages = 2)


# This should work.


** 2.  PLEASE PROVIDE:


sessionInfo()


	  "findFn('spline')" just worked for me using both the CRAN and 
development versions of sos.  (2.1-0 from CRAN under Windows 10; 2.1- 
from GitHub under macOS 11.4; both with R 4.1.0).


	  I need to push the GitHub version to CRAN.  However, it would help me 
if I understood your configuration and if the GitHub version fixes the 
problem for you.


	  Thanks for the report.  I apologize for the inconvenience.
