R 描述遥控器中的开发工具和软件包依赖项

Question

I would like to use a dev version of a package in my own package. As detailed in devtools vignette , I included the following line of code in the DESCRIPTION file of my package:

Remotes: SciViews/svDialogs

tried also:

Remotes: SciViews/svDialogs@v1.0.2

Unfortunately, that dependency is not installed prior to the installation of my package. Running, devtools::install_deps() does not install that dependency, but installs any missing dependency in Imports .

On the other hand devtools::install_github("SciViews/svDialogs") works as expected and installs the dev version of the package.

Not sure if I am missing something important. Any ideas?

Thanks

Just in case anyone else runs in the some problem... Solution was provided by @jennybc on the package page .

The dependency need to be listed in the Imports section of the DESCRIPTION too. This is actually stated in the vignette but I somewhat missed.
