[R-pkg-devel] txt data is undefined global variable

[Thierry Onkelinx]

Dear all,

I'm working on a package "foo" which has a dataframe stored in
"data/foo.txt". The DESCRIPTION has "LazyData: true".  Functions can use
the object "foo". e.g.

bar <- function() {
summary(foo)
}

However, R CMD check throws the "undefined global variable" error.

What is the proper way to use txt data in a package?

Best regards,

Thierry
