Problems with creating a new Golem project.

[carloszarzar]

Dear Golem community,

Starting on the golem. I started by installing the golem from CRAN and started a new project (file>new project>golem), I was told that I needed to update R to version 4.05 or greater. I updated to the latest version 4.1.3 . I installed from CRAN again and started a project, and the following error appeared: R Code execution error (see photo). I installed golem from github and the error persists.

The R feddback:

-- Checking package name --------------------------------------------------
Error: 'Golen_Test' is not a valid package name. To be allowed on CRAN, it should:

• Contain only ASCII letters, numbers, and '.'
• Have at least two characters
• Start with a letter
• Not end with '.'

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the possible error is?

Hey,

Golem_test is not a valid package name, that's why you get this error ;)

You can have a look to the message in your console to have more information about the requirements for package name, or you can also uncheck "perform a check on the name".

Cheers,
Colin

Maybe I know what the problem was. The new project name Golem cannot have underlined keywords in its title.
