Hello BioC community, I've recently added a CITATION file for our package "netDx". The package description page on bioconductor.org shows an error message: Important note to the maintainer of the netDx package: An error occured while trying to generate the citation from the CITATION file. This typically occurs when the file contains R code that relies on the package to be installed e.g. it contains calls to things like packageVersion() or packageDate() instead of using meta$Version or meta$Date. See R documentation <https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#CITATION-files> for more information.
However, when I install the package locally and run citation("netDx"), I get the expected output (see below e-mail). The CITATION file does not make function calls. Here are the contents: c(bibentry(bibtype = "Article", key = "netDx-methods", title = "{netDx: interpretable patient classification using integrated patient similarity networks}", author = c( person("Shraddha", "Pai"), person("Shirley", "Hui"), person("Ruth", "Isserlin"), person(c("Muhammad","A"), "Shah"), person("Hussam","Kaka"), person(c("Gary", "D."), "Bader") ), year = 2019, journal = "Molecular Systems Biology", volume = "15", pages = "e8497", doi = "10.15252/msb.20188497", pubmed = "30872331", header = "The netDx algorithm is described in:"), bibentry(bibtype = "Article", key = "netDx-software", title = "{netDx: Software for building interpretable patient classifiers by multi-'omic data integration using patient similarity networks}", author = c( person("Shraddha", "Pai"), person("Philipp", "Weber"), person("Ruth", "Isserlin"), person("Hussam","Kaka"), person("Shirley", "Hui"), person(c("Muhammad","A"), "Shah"), person("Luca", "Giudice"), person("Rosalba", "Giugno"), person(c("Anne","Krogh"), "Nøhr")," person("Jan", "Baumbach"), person(c("Gary", "D."), "Bader") ), year = 2021, journal = "F1000Research", volume = "9", pages = "1239", doi = "10.12688/f1000research.26429.2", pubmed = "33628435", header = "The netDx package is described in:") ) What can I change to fix the error on the bioconductor page?
