R package does not load dependencies [duplicate]

Question

RESOLVED

In my description file, I changed

Imports: dplyr (>= 0.4.3), ggplot2 (>= 2.1.0), lazyeval (>= 0.1.10)

to

Depends: dplyr (>= 0.4.3), ggplot2 (>= 2.1.0), lazyeval (>= 0.1.10)

This worked for me. "Imports:" may be depreciated?

I'm writing a package in RStudio. One of my dependencies is dplyr. When I build and reload the package, I get the following error when running a function:

> library(my_package)
> my_package::get_survey(...)
Error in get_survey(import_dir) : could not find function "%>%"

However, I've documented my dependencies in my DESCRIPTION file:

Imports: dplyr (>= 0.4.3), ggplot2 (>= 2.1.0), lazyeval (>= 0.1.10)

The libraries are installed on my system, however I want my package to work out of the box without requiring users to run

library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
library(lazyeval)

before using it. How can I fix this?

Here's my sessionInfo():

Thanks in advance for any help!

Since there's no answer yet...

Have you tried to put the three packages under "Depends" in your DESCRIPTON?

I ran into this recently and Depends still seems to work where Imports does not.
