Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

Version 26.8.23

  • The 14-name utils::globalVariables() list is gone. Each NSE column name is now declared as NULL at the top of the one function that uses it: 8 declarations across 5 files. Only . stays package-wide.
  • R CMD check named five columns the old list never declared at all: temp_max, temp_min, precip, lat and long, plus to_code. They were reaching the check clean for another reason, so the list was not doing the job it appeared to do.

Version 26.8.22

  • The package drops magrittr. Every %>% is now the base pipe |>, and magrittr is gone from DESCRIPTION.

  • The rewrite is a relocation, not an edit. Each %>% call was transformed the way R’s parser transforms |>, and the resulting tree was required to match the tree parsed from the rewritten file. A file whose trees disagreed was left untouched and converted by hand instead.

  • The version runs one day ahead of the calendar on purpose. r-universe already published today’s number from a different commit, and one version must never name two trees.

Version 26.8.21

  • progress is now declared. .onLoad calls progressr::handler_progress(), whose body calls progress::progress_bar, so this package needs it at load time. It worked only because cs9 declares it and this package imports cs9. It would have broken the day cs9 stopped needing it.
  • R/zzz_imports.R names rmarkdown and progress, which clears the declared-but-unused note. Neither is visible to the dependency scan. rmarkdown is named as a string, in utils::assignInNamespace(..., ns = "rmarkdown"), and progress is reached through another package’s function body.

Licensing

  • The copyright holder is now Folkehelseinstituttet. It read “cs9example authors”, which was a template placeholder.

  • DESCRIPTION Authors@R now declares that holder with role = "cph". It declared no copyright holder at all, and neither did any other package in the fleet. Nothing in R CMD check reports that.

  • The copyright year is now 2026. It read 2021.

  • CLAUDE.md now carries a Licensing section, so the year gets checked rather than silently ageing.

  • Fixed two README.md links that pointed at www.csids.no. The introduction vignette link returned 404 there. Both now point at niphr.github.io, which is the URL cs9’s own DESCRIPTION and _pkgdown.yml declare, and which returns 200.

  • Brought the prose in R/, README.md, index.md and NEWS.md to the house standard: ASD-STE100 (Simplified Technical English), adapted. Split the long sentences, and turned the buried lists into real lists.

    • Sentences over 25 words, measured per authored unit, before and after: R/ 4 to 0, README.md 1 to 0, NEWS.md 12 to 0. index.md was already at 0.
    • Regenerated man/ from the edited roxygen. NAMESPACE is unchanged, and all 10 help pages remain.
    • index.md keeps the cs-* class names, which are the ones cstemplate defines. An rw-* prefix would silently drop the card styling.

  • No code, documented function behaviour or documented number changed in this version.

cs9example 26.8.5

  • Removed no_data_plot(), and with it R/99_util_no_data_plot.R. It was never exported and never called. That is why a stale fhi:: reference survived inside it undetected for so long. The name sat in a glue() string, where static analysis cannot see it. Deleting it removes the whole class of problem rather than the one instance.
  • Removed knitr from Suggests and dropped the VignetteBuilder field. The package ships no vignettes, so both were vestigial and R CMD check reported the mismatch. rmarkdown stays in Imports: it is a genuine load-time dependency, named by a string in assignInNamespace(ns = "rmarkdown").
  • library(cs9example) now runs with no database server and no .Renviron. When CS9_DBCONFIG_ACCESS is empty, .onLoad() configures a SQLite backend under file.path(tempdir(), "cs9example") and calls cs9::reload_db_config(), so both tables register against SQLite files. A .Renviron still wins: the defaults are only applied when the variable is empty.
  • Added a test suite that needs no database server and no network. tests/testthat/test-sqlite-roundtrip.R asserts four things:
    • both tables register;
    • SQLite backs both of them;
    • the config and anon accesses use different SQLite files;
    • a synthetic row round-trips through insert_data() and tbl().
  • README.md no longer tells the reader to hand-write a PostgreSQL .Renviron before anything works.
  • .onLoad() now calls utils::assignInNamespace() rather than bare assignInNamespace(). utils is not attached during the minimal-namespace load that R CMD check performs. The bare call therefore raised could not find function "assignInNamespace", and failed .onLoad() outright. That produced three WARNINGs:
    • checking whether the package can be loaded with stated dependencies;
    • checking whether the package can be unloaded cleanly;
    • checking whether the namespace can be loaded with stated dependencies.
    All three are gone. utils is a base-priority package, so the check does not ask for it in Imports. It was not added there. R/11_onAttach.R already called utils::packageDescription() on the same terms.
  • The package became loadable at all once plnr was fixed. .onLoad() calls set_tasks(), which reaches plnr::Plan$add_analysis_from_list(), and that method read an undefined df that only resolved because stats::df happened to be on the search path. Loading died there first, which is why the assignInNamespace() defect behind it had never been seen. Fixed in plnr 2026.8.3.
  • DESCRIPTION now carries Remotes: niphr/cs9, raubreywhite/plnr. Without it CI died before R CMD check ever started. pak reported Can't find package called cs9, because cs9 is in Imports: and is not on CRAN. plnr is on CRAN, but only at 2025.11.22, which still reads the undefined df in Plan$add_analysis_from_list(). A CRAN resolution of plnr therefore installs a version that makes .onLoad() die with object 'df' not found whenever stats is not attached. That is exactly the condition R CMD check uses for checking whether the package can be loaded with stated dependencies. Note the two different owners: cs9 is niphr/cs9, plnr is raubreywhite/plnr. csdb needs no entry of its own. cs9 declares csdb (>= 2026.8.5) together with Remotes: niphr/csdb, and pak follows that transitively. csdb therefore resolves from GitHub at 2026.8.5 rather than the CRAN 2026.5.13.
  • DESCRIPTION now declares Config/Needs/website: niphr/cstemplate, which was missing. _pkgdown.yml sets template: package: cstemplate. cstemplate is not on CRAN, and nothing else in the package named it. The pkgdown build therefore had no template to load. The gap stayed invisible because the pkgdown job in .github/workflows/check-and-pkgdown.yml has needs: R-CMD-check and so never ran while dependency resolution was failing. This is a third inline GitHub ref with a third owner: r-lib/actions/setup-r-dependencies reads this field for its needs: website step. Ordinary Imports: resolution does not read it, so it is not interchangeable with a Remotes: entry. cs9 and csdb declare the same value; plnr declares raubreywhite/pkgdowntemplate.
  • DESCRIPTION Imports: now matches what the code actually uses. Nine namespaces were reached through :: without being declared, and are now declared: csdb, csmaps, cstidy, cstime, glue, httr, plnr, progressr and stringr. Three were declared without being used anywhere in the package, and are removed: janitor, merTools and tidyr. None of the three appears in any file outside DESCRIPTION itself, including string literals; tidyr was superseded by data.table::CJ() in make_skeleton_date() and make_skeleton_isoyearweek().
  • rmarkdown stays in Imports: even though R CMD check reports it as unused. .onLoad() calls utils::assignInNamespace("clean_tmpfiles", clean_tmpfiles_mod, ns = "rmarkdown"), which names the package as a string, so no static analysis can see it. Loading cs9example does load the rmarkdown namespace, and assignInNamespace() raises there is no package called when the namespace is absent. The remaining Namespace in Imports field not imported from: 'rmarkdown' NOTE is the honest price of a real dependency that cannot be spelled with ::.
  • The DESCRIPTION Description: field now ends in a full stop. That clears R CMD check’s Malformed Description field: should contain one or more complete sentences. The wording is unchanged.
  • Fixed weather_export_plots_data_selector(), which read index_analysis without ever assigning it. The if (plnr::is_run_directly()) block set only index_plan <- 1, then passed index_analysis to global$ss$shortcut_get_argset(). The three sibling blocks all assign it first. This was a copy from the action body with the index_analysis <- 1 line dropped. The guard is FALSE under normal package use, so the defect never fired in production. It fired the moment a developer stepped through the data selector interactively. That is the only reason the block exists. R then either raised object 'index_analysis' not found, or silently used a stale value left in the global environment. Note that weather_clean_data_data_selector() is correct as written and is unchanged. It omits index_analysis from the call entirely, which is the other valid shape.
  • no_data_plot() no longer calls fhi::nb$aa. fhi is not a declared dependency and is not installed, so the function raised Failed to evaluate glue component {fhi::nb$aa} on every call. No static analysis could see it, because the name sits inside a glue::glue() string. The value is the character å, confirmed against csdata::nb$aa and against the same function in norsyss.cs9, which had already made this exact substitution. The literal replaces the call, so the label reads Ikke noe data å vise as intended. fhi was not added to Imports:.
  • R/00_env_and_namespace.R now declares the data.table and dplyr non-standard-evaluation column names in utils::globalVariables(). Fourteen names were reported by checking R code for possible problems and each was traced to a [...], := or dplyr::select() site before being declared. index_analysis was deliberately left out: it was a real bug, fixed above, not NSE. The check’s importFrom("datasets", "precip") suggestion was not followed, because precip here is a weather column this package builds.
  • .Rbuildignore now excludes .github and LICENSE.md, which cleared checking for hidden files and directories and checking top-level files. The LICENSE file named by License: MIT + file LICENSE still ships.

cs9example 26.8.4

Development

  • Documentation is generated by roxygen2 8.0.0. DESCRIPTION now declares Config/roxygen2/version in place of RoxygenNote, and every .Rd file was regenerated by that version. NAMESPACE is unchanged.
