To demonstrate a minimal case, say I have the following package:

#' @docType package
#' @import methods
#' @title MyTitle
#' @description MyDescription
#' @details MyDetails
#' @export
A <- setRefClass("A")

When I roxygenize (in RStudio, before a 'Build & Reload'). I get:

==> roxygenize('.', roclets=c('rd', 'collate', 'namespace'))

* checking for changes ... ERROR

Error in process.docType(partitum) : 
  Roclet processing error in block Test1.R:7
argument is of length zero

What's going wrong? How do I resolve this error?

My setup:

  • Roxygen2 3.1.0
    • Using roxygen to generate (in RStudio):
      • Rd files
      • Collate field
      • NAMESPACE file
    • Automatically roxygenising when running (in RStudio):
      • R CMD check
      • Source and binary package builds
      • Build & Reload
  • R: 3.0.2 (Frisbee Sailing)
  • IDE: RStudio 0.98.490
  • OS: Windows 8.1

  • Why do you have `@docType` package? Otherwise, I don't see anything obviously wrong with your roxygen block. – hadley Feb 05 '14 at 00:48
  • @Hadley - because I'm building a package, so shouldn't I have a `@doctype package`? – mchen Feb 05 '14 at 03:07
  • `@docType` is for documentation type, which here would be class (but can be omitted because it's autogenerated). You also don't usually explicitly label `@title`, `@description` and `@details` – hadley Feb 05 '14 at 13:43

I had a similar situation where 

#' @export
A <- setRefClass("A")

cause the same error, which I resolved using:

A <- setRefClass("A")
#' @export
A

Curiously, this was in a file that I had not modified in a while, so it's still a bit of a mystery...
