I’m working to create a package that calls a function from another local package. This was pretty straightforward to do but I’m seeing an error.

new_function <- function(input1, ...) {

   localPackage::old_function(input1, ...)

}

Unfortunately, I can’t share the details of the error due to proprietary reasons but am seeing an attempt to apply non-function within the inner function.

After loading in my custom package, if I run localPackage::old_function(input1, ...), it works fine but new_function(input1, ...) gives the error.

I’m looking for any workarounds. My thought was if I can define a function, that upon calling, would define the new function and load it into my environment, that may work.

My apologies – I know this is an absolutely horrible SO question without any reproducible example. I appreciate any help.
