Yes, I can see the partial.rdb file in the list, also in entry 28. So I
believe the problem is on the CRAN build.

For the rest of the list: This claim is incorrect. The tarball that was submitted to CRAN did not contain the partial.rdb file. The CRAN message was correct.

Phil, it would be helpful if you explained how you really produced that tarball, so people know how not to do it.

        Exactly the same thing occurs on my Ubuntu 64-bit box. So again, I'm
        still unsure how to proceed, particularly if only some
        OS's/versions are
        detecting this error other than mine.


    Sounds like a bug somewhere.  Does the file you submitted to CRAN
    contain the build/partial.rdb file?  If so, the bug is in the check
    code being run by CRAN.  If not, the bug is in the build code that
    you ran.

    You can get a listing of the contents from within R using

    untar("mirtCAT_1.6.tar.gz", list = TRUE)

    When I do that, the partial.rdb file is entry 28.

                Hi all,

                First time posting here, so hopefully I'm following the
        correct
                etiquette.

                I recently received the error:

                "Package has help file(s) containing build-stage \Sexpr{}
                expressions but
                no 'build/partial.rdb' file."

                when submitting a package to CRAN (source code:
        https://github.com/
                philchalmers/mirtCAT). However, I'm having difficulty
                reproducing the exact
                problem on my Windows and Linux computers with the
        latest R dev
                version
                (2017-07-25 r72968). Moreover, I don't really understand the
                issue, as I do
                not use \Sexpr{} anywhere in the package.

                After a quick search, I found a link on SO
                (https://stackoverflow.com/

        questions/32357637/two-note-messages-from-r-cmd-check-as-cran),
                but it does
                not appear too helpful as far as I can tell (I don't
        explicitly use
                \package_____() commands anywhere). Can anyone shed some
        light
                on this
                warning and my difficulty in reproducing the message?
        Thank you
                in advance.


            How did you produce the tar.gz file?  If you did it in some way
            other than running "R CMD build ...", don't do that.   When
        I run R
            CMD build, I do get the build/partial.rdb file in the tarball.
