[R-pkg-devel] NOTE: Error while checking: invalid 'envir'-argument

[Alexandra Kuznetsova]

I am checking the sensR package https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=944

The NOTE is the following one:
* checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE
AnotA: Error while checking: ugyldigt 'envir'-argument
clls: Error while checking: ugyldigt 'envir'-argument
discrimR: Error while checking: ugyldigt 'envir'-argument

threeAFC: Error while checking: ugyldigt 'envir'-argument
triangle: Error while checking: ugyldigt 'envir'-argument
twoAFC: Error while checking: ugyldigt 'envir'-argument

Looking at the code of these functions I could not find what could be the problem.

Hmm,  that would look like a bug in your version of R-devel.
In my version of "R-devel" (and R 3.2.1, and "R 3.2.1 patched"),
I get

  > rm(e); e <- new.env(); data(votes.repub, envir=e); ls(e); dim(e$votes.repub)
  [1] "votes.repub"
  [1] 50 31

What is your R.version.string very you see the problem?
What's
       sessionInfo() ?

Best,
