What is this error: File does not exist error with roxygenise?

Question

I have been using roxygen2::roxygenise quite successfully with my package to build exported and imported functions. However, I recently ran into this error which I am unable to resolve:

> roxygen2::roxygenise()
First time using roxygen2. Upgrading automatically...
Error: File file does not exist

This is not the first time I have used roxygen2 with this package. In addition, I am not quite sure what "File file does not exist" means. Has anyone else seen this and been able to resolve it?

Answer 1

I think you have to set the working directory of R to be the package folder

Answer 2

I got the same error when using:

roxygen2::roxygenise("mypackage")

But, I didn't get the error when I instead used:

library(roxygen2)
roxygenise()

I know this is no explanation and I can't comment upon whether this works beyond my case.
