lintr no visible binding for global variable ‘.SD’

Question

lintr throws error while using data.table functions like .SD, .SDcols, e.g:

/path/readData.R:130:29: warning: no visible binding for global variable ‘.SD’, Did you mean 'SSD'?
      DT[, "row.sum" := rowSums(.SD), .SDcols =  names(DT)]
                                ^~~

How can I fix this?

`help("globalVariables")`? At least that works when checking packages with R CMD check. — Roland, Aug 31 '17 at 09:23

Add linters: with_defaults(object_usage_linter = NULL) to your .lintr file.

Well, yes this removes the warning, but it also is massive overkill, as now lintr will not check for any variables. – aramirezreyes Aug 04 '23 at 10:01
