Seems like there is a problem at parsing time for this package, we'll look into it
@filipsch (https://github.com/datacamp/RDocumentation-app/issues/399#issuecomment-359841873):
I would not look into detail into #386.
I was actually hoping that the new version of surveillance (1.16.0, on CRAN since a few days) would trigger a rebuild of the documentation at https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/surveillance/, but that does not seem to be the case. So I guess that the package parser employed by RDocumentation does not like some of the package's Rd code? Where is the problem? The source code is valid as confirmed by CRAN, and can be parsed by, e.g., https://rdrr.io/cran/surveillance/.
One way to "solve" this issue by myself would be to tweak the problematic Rd code in the next version of surveillance such that it can be parsed by RDocumentation. Of course, this requires me to know where the parser hiccups.
Meanwhile I have tracked down several issues in pkgdown, which RDocumentation uses to parse the package. There is still an issue with respect to insufficient support of \Sexpr
macros. surveillance will only be parsable once this is fixed.
Thanks @WastlM for investigating this, we are currently in the process of migrating RDoc infrastructure to a new system. That will make it more stable and errors at parsing time will be logged and can be investigated later.
We'll make sure to integrate your fix in the process.
However, we currently lack resources to fix all the issues that pkgdown
might run into, we'll try to regularly update pkgdown
and integrate the fixes that it contains though
Thanks for your efforts! pkgdown 1.0.0 has recently been released, which contains a lot of improvements in rendering the package documentation, e.g., for \Sexpr
macros. I have just published surveillance 1.16.1 on CRAN and can confirm that it is now perfectly compatible with pkgdown. Waiting to see if the RDocumentation site for the package finally gets updated as well.
RDocumentation for the testwhat package is also not up to date: https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/testwhat/versions/4.2.2 https://github.com/datacamp/testwhat/releases
@hermansje, you should open a separate issue for that.
RDocumentation.org knows about the R package surveillance, but only until version 1.12.1 released in May 2016. Meanwhile we arrived at version 1.15.0, see surveillance on CRAN.
Maybe related to #279 and #343.
