h5file() fails when run from an Rscript #64
Description
Many thanks for creating and maintaining this package.
It appears that the package is missing some symbols from methods. The following test script runs successfully from an interactive session (which loads methods by default), but fails when run from an Rscript:
#!/usr/bin/env Rscript
library('h5')
fxx <- h5file('test.h5', mode='w')
fxx['data'] <- 1:10
h5close(fxx)The following error is reported:
Error in initialize(value, ...) :
cannot use object of class “character” in new(): class “H5File” does not extend that class
Calls: h5file -> new -> initialize -> initialize
6: (function ()
traceback(2))()
5: stop(gettextf("cannot use object of class %s in new(): class %s does not extend that class",
dQuote(Classi), dQuote(Class)), domain = NA)
4: initialize(value, ...)
3: initialize(value, ...)
2: new("H5File", name, mode)
1: h5file("test.h5", mode = "w")
The Rscript runs successfully if methods is explicitly loaded before h5:
#!/usr/bin/env Rscript
library('methods')
library('h5')
fxx <- h5file('test.h5', mode='w')
fxx['data'] <- 1:10
h5close(fxx)
