missing modules

[atesh.koul]

Hi all,

I am facing a very strange situation that I am unable to understand. I am trying to create a module for my package PredPsych. I created the required analysis files but after a successful installation of my module using jmvtools::install(), when I open jamovi (connected to the jamovi tools), I am unable to find my module.

On further inspections, I verify that the modules folder in ~Roaming/jamovi/modules is empty except a folder R.
It seems that the install command installs the module and then deletes the files from the modules from the Roaming/jamovi/modules folder.

When however I create a new module, it seems to work. It seems that it breaks down when I import my package in the NAMESPACE. I already have it in the DESCRIPTION file.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Best,
Atesh

hi atesh,

what you describe is unusual!

is your module committed somewhere, where we could take a look?

with thanks

Hi Jonathon,

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I posted the module on github - https://github.com/ateshkoul/jamovi

Just as some additional background information -
1. I am using R 3.4.2 but I also tried using the jamovi R in Frameworks folder.
2. I tried installing using Rstudio 1.1.423 but also the native R in Frameworks.
3. I had moved the windows temporary folder to a custom location but even when I moved it back, the problem remains.


Please let me know if you would like to have any more information.

Thanks,

Best,
Atesh

hi atesh,

ok, let's see if we can figure this one out. so you install your module using `jmvtools::install()`, and the installation proceeds, doesn't generate an error message, but the module does not appear in the menu at the top?

with thanks

Hi Jonathan,

Yes. The installation does not throw any error. But the module is not present in jamovi. I find that the files were copied in the roaming folder and then deleted.

I am not sure if this is related but just putting imports in description leads to function not found and if I add import package in namespace, jamovi engine crashes.


Thanks a lot,

Best,

OK, step 2 is to examine the .jmo file which is created. can you attach that?

also, do you want to join our slack? it might be quicker to solve this issue there. drop us a line at `contact <at> jamovi.org`

cheers

ok, your .jmo file looks fine. can you try side-loading it into jamovi and see if that works?

i'm guessing that jmvtools::install() isn't copying the files across properly ... but i have no idea why this might be.
