no visible global variables (object-usage-linter) is still a matter

packageVersion('lintr'): ‘2.0.1.9000’
I installed lintr via github and I am at commit 4ca7e484

The following example will yield the object-usage-linter error:

library(tidyverse)

dog = function() {
    a = rnorm(5) %>% sum()
    a
}

yields no visible global function definition for ‘%>%’ object_usage_linter [4, 1]

Thanks for reporting this. You can circumvent the issue by loading all packages before linting, but if the library call is in the same file as the function, we can do something about it.

Yes, the library call is definitely in the same file as the function.
I don't understand what is circumvent the issue by loading all packages before linting,
does it mean that I fire the R process that runs the language server with those packages loaded?
like R --slave -e "source('loadingPackage.R'); rlanguageserver::run()"?

Yes, that should work.

Implementation should be straight-forward once #239 is merged.
That PR provides the necessary functions to find all exported objects, which could then be passed to checkUsage() as known globals.
