Description

see: LINK

The R package installation validation test is too strict and can cause TXM installation to stop even if package can work correctly

First solution was to call "library("...")" for each package during TXM start-up job.

But the "library("FactoMineR")" test does not works (it does work when called from a R script).
The tests has been moved to a new command in the Help menu: "Check R packages"

Validation test

  • Run R
  • exec remove.packages("FactoMineR") (don't work on my computer, but this is the official command to remove a package.)
  • Run TXM
  • A message should alert that FactoMineR is not present and show the Commands that won't work

To restore FactoMineR :

  • Run R
  • exec install.packages("FactoMineR")

History

#1 Updated by Matthieu Decorde about 9 years ago

The package test has been moved from the installation script to TXM startup.

Each package is now tested. When a package could not be loaded a message is displayed to announce which commands won't work

(setup not yet updated)

Tested without the FactoMineR package and TXM shows this message at start up :
"TXM could not load the 'FactoMineR' R package. The Correspondance analysis, Classification commands won't be available"

(NOTE : CA command is still available in menus.)

Finally I won't put the test during TXM start-up. It generated a SIGPIPE error:
