Error: comparing variable importnace...Error in match.names(clabs, names(xi)) : names do not match previous names

[BettyBoyse]

Dear Sylvain and Lukas,

I keep getting this error when I run stack_modelling and I can't understand in the script where it is coming from/what I can do to fix it or if it is impacting my final model.

I understand that this error is related to rbind() but unsure where this is in the stack_modelling script?

Best wishes,
Betty

I was not able to reproduce this error with the example data. The @variable.importance was always filled, regardless of the other errors.
Can you please check, if this is also a problem when running ensemble_modelling?

The section where this happens is probably in stacking:

SSDM/R/stacking.R

Lines 284 to 288 in d8152bd

	cat(" comparing variable importance...")
	}
	stack@variable.importance <- esdm@variable.importance
	for (i in 2:length(esdms)) {
	a <- try(rbind(stack@variable.importance, esdms[[i]]@variable.importance))

Also, I remember the typo "variable importnace" from an earlier version of SSDM, where I corrected it. So I am wondering if this is really the latest SSDM version? Can you check if the above lines are the same in your local SSDM functions?

I have checked and the error does not appear when running ensemble_modelling.

When I look at the stacking function (SSDM::stacking) I get this:

new("nonstandardGenericFunction", .Data = function (esdm, ...,
name = NULL, method = "pSSDM", rep.B = 1000, Env = NULL,
range = NULL, endemism = c("WEI", "Binary"), eval = TRUE,
verbose = TRUE, GUI = FALSE)
{
return(standardGeneric("stacking"))
}, generic = "stacking", package = "SSDM", group = list(), valueClass = character(0),
signature = c("esdm", "name", "method", "rep.B", "Env",
"range", "endemism", "eval", "verbose", "GUI"), default = NULL,
skeleton = (function (esdm, ..., name = NULL, method = "pSSDM",
rep.B = 1000, Env = NULL, range = NULL, endemism = c("WEI",
"Binary"), eval = TRUE, verbose = TRUE, GUI = FALSE)
stop("invalid call in method dispatch to 'stacking' (no default method)",
domain = NA))(esdm, ..., name = name, method = method,
rep.B = rep.B, Env = Env, range = range, endemism = endemism,
eval = eval, verbose = verbose, GUI = GUI))

It doesn't seem to give me full code but it does when I look at other SSDM functions?!

I have checked package version, I have 0.2.8

Please provide a minimal example with the package data if you want it to be further investigated.
