roxygen2 7.3.0 breaks NAMESPACE

[jdblischak]

While working on #312, I noticed that the latest roxygen2 was deleting := from {data.table} and %>% from {dplyr} from NAMESPACE.

==> devtools::document(roclets = c('rd', 'collate', 'namespace'))

Documentation completed

roxygen2 7.3.0 was recently released on 2024-01-11. Fortunately another developer has already reported the problem in r-lib/roxygen2#1570. While we wait on a fix, please build the documentation with roxygen2 7.2.3

😂 Nice findings. Will surely keep this in mind... Thanks!

To (re-)install roxygen2 7.2.3, one can use:

remotes::install_version("roxygen2", "7.2.3")

Actually, you would fix those by replacing the lines with:

#' @importFrom data.table :=
#' @importFrom dplyr %>%

@olivroy Thanks for the suggested workaround! While the roxygen2 developers are restoring the previous behavior in r-lib/roxygen2#1574, I tested and confirmed that @importFrom data.table := and @importFrom data.table %>% work as intended with both roxygen2 7.2.3 and 7.3.0.

I've always put quotes around these types of functions. This is how they display in NAMESPACE, and I thought I had got errors in the past when I didn't put them in quotes. Either I am misremembering, or roxgyen2 was updated to handle this common use case.
