Integer values with NA cause error

[JanaJarecki]

Hi, I love papaja, and I think I found a bug. If there is an integer that contains a NA value apa_table throws an error.

To Reproduce

    mytable <- data.frame(a=1:3, b=as.integer(c(1,2,NA)))
    apa_table(mytable)

    # > apa_table(mytable)                                                                                                                       
    # Fehler in if (!check_class == "function" && any(is.na(x))) { :
    # Fehlender Wert, wo TRUE/FALSE nötig ist

The expected behavior is like as if it was a numeric (not an integer)

    mytable <- data.frame(a=1:3, b=c(1,2,NA))
    apa_table(mytable)

If this is intended behavior, maybe a more informative error message would have helped me out a bit! =)

Cheers Jana

Hi Jana, thanks for bringing this to my attention. It is indeed not intended behavior and I have just pushed a commit to the development branch. Could you try it out to see if that fixes the issue to you (devtools::install_github("crsh/papaja@devel"))?

[JanaJarecki]

cool thank you :D (integers are weird animals sometimes in R)

I just tried it and the error is gone, however (I am on Windows) the line breaks in the printed table are not printed anymore

library(papaja)
mytable <- data.frame(a=1:3, b=as.integer(c(1,2,NA)))                                                                    
apa_table(mytable)
[1] "\n\n\n\\begin{table}[tbp]\n\n\\begin{center}\n\\begin{threeparttable}\n\n\\begin{tabular}{ll}\n\\toprule\na & \\multicolumn{1}{c}{b}\\\\\n\\midrule\n1 & 1\\\\\n2 & 2\\\\\n3 & NA\\\\\n\\bottomrule\n\\end{tabular}\n\n\\end{threeparttable}\n\\end{center}\n\n\\end{table}\n\n\n"                                                                                          
attr(,"class")

attr(,"knit_cacheable")

[crsh]

This is intended behavior because the returned object is of class knit_asis. This ensure, that you don't manually need to set results = "asis" in the chunk option of a chunk in which you call apa_table(). If you would like to inspect the output with line breaks you should be able to do this using cat().

[JanaJarecki]

ah, is this new? I seem to remember that differed in earlier versions if I remember correctly

[crsh]

Yes, this is a fairly recent change: https://github.com/crsh/papaja/commit/04869e06f68911db7f4c7a1cb3dc35bfe1b04533
