[R-pkg-devel] objects are masked _by_ '.GlobalEnv'

[Troels Ring]

Dear friends - this is really a question I'm sorry about since it doesn't
follow the requirements. I have made a R package via RStudio and it causes
problems when I try to load some data from within the package. I'm on
windows, R version 3.5.1 (2018-07-02). 

When I am in the directory with the package project (also with plain R)

> data(Schell)

> library(chaRBAL)

Attaches package: 'chaRBAL'    my translation from Danish

The following objects are masked _by_ '.GlobalEnv':

    Na, TOTAL, WA

#  BUT: the  values are correct from data(Schell):

> Na

[1] 0.008 0.024 0.044 0.064 0.082 0.098 0.114 0.128 0.142 0.154 0.166 0.176

> data(Schell)

ls()

TOTAL

#   [1,] 0.0267 0.0267 0.0267

#   [2,] 0.0200 0.0200 0.0200

# which is wrong and belongs to another included dataset. How did that
happen to be caught in globalenvironment, how can I avoid that and get rid
# of it?

I can see I need to know more about environments. What do you think happens?

 

All best wishes
