Hi @epbrenner @jananiravi .

I tried running some files in the job results folder with the figure-generating code, and I'm getting an error Error in plan(strategy = plan, .skip = T) : could not find function "plan" . Searching the code for the plan function gave no results. Pls could you give me a pointer to what may be going on.
The function I ran was inlp_fig2 .

@falquaddoomi @epbrenner could you look into this?

So, I'm not an R developer, so take this all with a grain of salt. Anyway...

@valentina-buoro, plan is from the future library; it basically tells R how to resolve "futures", functions that can be executed asynchronously (i.e., not in the main thread). Since it's in the future library, adding library(future) somewhere near the top of the file should resolve it.

I'm not sure why you're getting that message, though. The plan() invocation is almost certainly coming from another library, which is why you're not seeing it in the code, but I don't know enough about R to say whether the author of that library is correctly loading future or if that's the user's responsibility.

If we know for sure that we're invoking future::plan() best to call it explicitly to avoid any confusion. @the-mayer are we using future enough to warrant adding it as a dependency (to function imports)? Then even the library call upfront in this script might not be needed.

Thanks for addressing this, @falquaddoomi

Thank you @falquaddoomi @jananiravi

Another way to make sure all dependencies are loaded when working on a package is to run devtools::load_all(). This will attempt to load all MolEvolvR exported functions, as well as any declared imports. future::plan() is declared in the package NAMESPACE and thus would be loaded by a call to devtools::load_all()

Got it @the-mayer . Thank you
