Fixes #330
As described in the issue,
globals::globalsOf(mustExist = TRUE)
sometimes has false positives, for metaprogramming issues or when encountering a symbol that is defined later but that would be valid at runtime.This PR downgrades
mustExist
errors to a warning message. Doing so requires two calls toglobals::globalsOf()
:The first call uses
mustExist = FALSE
. Ignoring potentially non-existant globals might lead to other errors that are masked by themustExist = TRUE
case.The second call uses
mustExist = TRUE
. If an error occurs at this step, then we downgrade "failed to locate" errors to a warning, otherwise we rethrow.
