inla.get.inlaEnv is not an exported object from 'namespace:INLA'

I am attempting to specify a simple joint model of the following form:

IJ <- joint(
  formSurv = inla.surv(testsurv$time_since_dx_days, testsurv$death_status) ~ lastdrug,
  formLong = ca19_9 ~ time_since_dx_days * drug * dose + (1|cohort_id_f),
  dataLong = testlong,
  dataSurv = testsurv,
  id = "cohort_id_f",
  timeVar = "time_since_dx_days",
  basRisk="weibullsurv",
  family = "lognormal",
  assoc = "CV" 
)

When I do so, I receive the error: inla.get.inlaEnv is not an exported object from 'namespace:INLA'

> traceback()
2: assign("processed.status.for.model.scopy.in.section.latent", 
       TRUE, INLA::inla.get.inlaEnv())
1: joint(formSurv = inla.surv(testsurv$time_since_dx_days, testsurv$death_status) ~ 
       lastdrug, formLong = ca19_9 ~ time_since_dx_days * drug * 
       dose + (1 | cohort_id_f), dataLong = testlong, dataSurv = testsurv, 
       id = "cohort_id_f", timeVar = "time_since_dx_days", basRisk = "weibullsurv", 
       family = "lognormal", assoc = "CV")

I am using INLA 19.01.29 and INLAjoint 24.3.25.

Any help you can provide is much appreciated!

The error is because your INLA vesrion is too old, we made changes in INLA that are required for INLAjoint. You can update INLA from R by running the following command if you are using Linux or MAC:

library(INLA)
inla.update(testing=T)

If you are using Windows, you can update with the following command in R: install.packages("INLA",repos=c(getOption("repos"),INLA="https://inla.r-inla-download.org/R/testing"), dep=TRUE) Also, in your call of the joint() function, you don't need to specify the dataset for the outcome in the inla.surv object, i.e., inla.surv(time_since_dx_days, death_status)

Best, Denis
