R CMD检查在“检查Rd交叉引用”处停止

Question

I am using devtools::check(document=FALSE,args=c('--no-multiarch')) to perform the checks for my package.

When the above command performs R --vanilla CMD check "C:\\sometmpfolder/mypackage.tar.gz" --timings --no-multiarch , it stops at

* checking Rd cross-references ...

ie, this is the last line in mypackage.Rcheck/00check.log . There is no error message - the check seems to freeze.

I use roxygen2 to create my documentation. The cross references that I use are of the form \\link{somefunction} and \\link[somepkg]{somefunction} .

I am running R 3.1.2 on a Win 7 machine. But I think that I have seen a similar behaviour with earlier versions of R and without roxygen2 as well.

Do you guys know why the check stops at the cross-references?

Answer 1

It turned out that an incorrect statement of the form

\link[somepkg]{somefunction}

was the problem. In my case I used the incorrect command \\link[reshape]{melt} although it should be \\link[reshape2]{melt} . This caused the Rd cross-reference check to take forever (actually, it finished after nearly one hour). After correcting to \\link[reshape2]{melt} the Rd cross-reference check only took a minute or so.
