no, this is the wrong discussion, raw data should go in data-raw

[florianhartig]

sorry, no, probably better to put it in extdata http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/data.html#data-extdata, I have to try this.

data-raw is also possible, but then we would probably have to build the vignette by hand and move it, as we do in https://github.com/COST-FP1304-PROFOUND/ProfoundData/tree/master/ProfoundData/data-raw

Yes, I think this works best, see also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13463103/inst-and-extdata-folders-in-r-packaging?noredirect=1&lq=1

I can do this, but will wait for what you say about the vignette.

Please give it a shot. I am at the very start of the vignettes and having a robust order now will help a lot. I like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13463103/inst-and-extdata-folders-in-r-packaging?noredirect=1&lq=1
Wecan call fpath <- system.file("extdata", "my_raw_data.csv", package="my_package") on the vignette! Go ahead and I will pull when you are ready.

Florian, I changed the file to the order on the forums that you pointed out. But now compiling vignette introduction is crashing. can you have a look at how I am calling the functions. Precisely at line 98 is the first error reading the config file. I tried to use the line that gets the absolute path within the package:
datapath <- system.file("extdata", "EXPERIMENT_X", package="gen3sis")

[florianhartig]

I'll have a look in the next days, swamped at the moment, sorry!

[ohagen]

No worries. Thanks a lot!

I think I found a work around! Vignette works as intended. Thus closing the issue. Thank you
