[R-pkg-devel] "Undefined global functions or variables" locally but NOT on GitHub

[Nicholas Tierney]

Hi Spencer,

I believe the issue is that you have the same VignetteIndexEntry

%\VignetteIndexEntry{UpdateMaddisonData}"

in _both_ of those vignettes. So I think you want the other one to be:

%\VignetteIndexEntry{SS4Maddison}"

See

https://github.com/sbgraves237/MaddisonData/blob/main/vignettes/SS4Maddison.Rmd#L7
and
https://github.com/sbgraves237/MaddisonData/blob/main/vignettes/UpdateMaddisonData.Rmd#L5

Hope that helps!
