Namespace conflict

[teunbrand]

Hi there,

We've been preparing a new major release for ggplot2 and found an issue during a reverse dependency check.
When installing your package we get the following message:

Found the following significant warnings:
Warning: replacing previous import ‘e1071::element’ by ‘ggplot2::element’ when loading ‘trajmsm’

I think the correct solution is to use importFrom() in your package's namespace to cherrypick functions.
This is in contrast to import(<package>), which causes this conflict.
You can test your code with the development version of ggplot2 by installing it as follows:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("tidyverse/ggplot2")

We aim to release the new ggplot2 version in about 2 weeks, and hope you can submit a fix to CRAN around that time. Hopefully this will inform you in a timely manner.

Best wishes,
Teun

Hi Teun,

Thanks for flagging the issue!

I’ve updated the trajmsm package to use importFrom() to avoid the warning related to ggplot2::element. I tested the changes with the development version of ggplot2 (tidyverse/ggplot2), and everything works as expected.

The updated version has already been submitted to CRAN.

Best regards,
Awa
