datasummary() fails if not attached

[fkohrt]

I recently became interested into this nice package due to its relatively low dependency count.

However, when running the following code...

modelsummary::datasummary(formula = extra ~ group * mean, data = sleep)

...I get the following error:

Error in modelsummary::datasummary(formula = extra ~ group, data = sleep) : 
  could not find function "labelSubset"

Only attaching the package resolves the issue:

library(modelsummary)
datasummary(formula = extra ~ group * mean, data = sleep)

Thanks for the report. This is a limitation from the upstream tables package. Try:

tables::tabular(extra ~ group * mean, data = sleep)

Do you happen to be able to create code that recreates the issue using only the tables package? The code you provided runs for me (albeit with a warning).

Warning in rep(justification, len = length(x)) :
  partial argument match of 'len' to 'length.out'
Warning in rep(justification, len = length(x)) :

Looks like you are running the code from the other Issue.

Right, sorry for the noise. I created an issue upstream: dmurdoch/tables#30
