Recently I discovered that if getDataPackage is run on a pid with a formatId other than http://www.openarchives.org/ore/terms (in this case it was a resource map accidentally set with formatId text/csv, we get the exceedingly cryptic:
Trying urn:node:ARCTIC
Error in if (!repeated && grepl("%[[:xdigit:]]{2}", URL, useBytes = TRUE)) return(URL) :
missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
I think it would be helpful if the function checked the sysmeta of that argument before proceeding, and gave an informative error message if it doesn't seem right.
