Failing CRAN checks #4

Closed Matt-Brigida closed 5 years ago

Matt-Brigida commented 8 years ago 
Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  : 
  unable to find an inherited method for function ‘xmlToDataFrame’ for signature ‘"missing", "missing", "missing", "missing", "NULL"’
Calls: getCatEIA -> xmlToDataFrame -> <Anonymous>

Code of getCatEIA not changed since last passing CRAN check -- so this must be due to changes in CRAN checks or the XML package. The function itself also works fine when run.

This is simply because the documentation does not include an API key, and so it passes nothing as an argument to xmlToDataFrame.

So this is purely a CRAN documentation check problem. We need to:

  1. Configure the package documentation so CRAN doesn't run the function, or
  2. Use a valid API key in the docs

Fixed.
