[Bug]: <title>Error: object 'validate_standard_inputs' not found

[kaipingyang]

What happened?

Error: object 'validate_standard_inputs' not found

Most modules use validate_standard_inputs to check variables,such as

validate_standard_inputs(
  adsl = adsl_filtered,
  adslvars = c("USUBJID", "STUDYID", input_arm_var),
  anl = anl_filtered,
  anlvars = c("USUBJID", "STUDYID", input_summarize_vars),
  arm_var = input_arm_var[[1]]
)

In teal.modules.clinical version 0.8.14.9021 we can query the help(validate_standard_inputs) for the validate_standard_inputs function, but

1. The validate_standard_inputs object is not found when we enter validate_standard_inputs
   

2. When running the example given in the validate_standard_inputs help, an error appears on the shiny app because the validate_standard_inputs object is not found:

library(teal)
library(teal.modules.clinical)
library(shiny)

ADSL <- tmc_ex_adsl
ADAE <- tmc_ex_adae

ui <- fluidPage(
  shiny::sliderInput("obs", "Max Age",
    min = 0, max = 100, value = 100
  ),
  shiny::sliderInput("maxgr", "Max Grade",
    min = 0, max = 5, value = 5
  ),
  plotOutput("plot")
)

server <- function(input, output) {
  output$plot <- renderPlot({
    keep_adsl <- c("USUBJID", "STUDYID", "ARMCD", "AGE", "ARM")
    keep_adae <- c("USUBJID", "STUDYID", "AETOXGR")

    ADSL_f <- ADSL[ADSL$AGE <= input$obs, keep_adsl]
    ADAE_f <- ADAE[as.numeric(ADAE$AETOXGR) <= input$maxgr, keep_adae]

    validate_standard_inputs(
      adsl = ADSL_f,
      adslvars = keep_adsl,
      anl = ADAE_f,
      anlvars = keep_adae,
      arm_var = "ARM",
      need_arm = TRUE
    )

    ANL <- merge(ADSL_f, ADAE_f, by = c("USUBJID", "STUDYID"))


    plot(ANL$AGE, jitter(as.numeric(ANL$AETOXGR)), xlab = "AGE", ylab = "AETOXGR")
  })
}

This case is not reproducible on my machine, validate_standard_inputs is still a valid function in teal.modules.clinical.
@chlebowa @BLAZEWIM can you guys test this out?

Also cannot replicate, function is found and app works. teal.modules.clinical_0.8.14.9021

[mhallal1]

@kaipingyang could you start with a new session and load teal.modules.clinical and test again please?

I manage stable and development versions of the teal family on linux and windows by renv in R project . At present, all questions about validate_standard_inputs are Error: object 'validate_standard_inputs' not found

1.linux system install development version of teal:
The result is as above

2. Linux system install https://github.com/insightsengineering/depository 2022 _10_13 release version:

@mhallal1 The bug should be caused by the absence of export(validate_standard_inputs) in the NAMESPACE file.

Thus the validate_standard_inputs function cannot be found in the teal.modules.clinical namespace:

Please check the document at https://github.com/insightsengineering/teal.modules.clinical/blob/main/NAMESPACE

[mhallal1]

@kaipingyang the function validate_standard_inputs is meant to be internal to be used by module developers only, if required otherwise for your usage, we can export the function.

[chlebowa]

Sorry to be late to the party, I thought the lack of reproduction by @BLAZEWIM was conclusive.

@mhallal1 is correct, this is an internal function. @kaipingyang, did your problem occur when you were using a module or creating one?

[kaipingyang]

@kaipingyang the function validate_standard_inputs is meant to be internal to be used by module developers only, if required otherwise for your usage, we can export the function.
I want to use validate_standard_inputs as module developer, which would be nice if exported.

Sorry to be late to the party, I thought the lack of reproduction by @BLAZEWIM was conclusive.

@mhallal1 is correct, this is an internal function. @kaipingyang, did your problem occur when you were using a module or creating one?
I am creating a custom teal module using the tm_t_summary source code as a template, so I find that as the developer of the custom module cannot use validate_standard_inputs for validation, I have to comment out the code for validate_standard_inputs to ensure proper use of the custom teal module.
The shiny validation process has helped me a lot in learning to create custom teal modules, so I'd like to use validate_standard_inputs if possible.

[chlebowa]

If you run devtools::load_all() in the top directory of your repository (teal.modules.clinical), internal functions will be available to you. Once the module is added to the package, it will be able to use its internal functions.

[nikolas-burkoff]

If validate_standard_inputs is useful for users developing modules that sit outside of teal.module.clinical then it could be exported - if it's meant only for teal.module.clinical developers to use then we shouldn't export it and tmc module developers can use devtools::load_all etc.

When running the example given in the validate_standard_inputs help, an error appears on the shiny app because the validate_standard_inputs object is not found:

This should be fixed.

@shajoezhu I'm going to leave this to you and let SME make any changes

[shajoezhu]

wiil do! Thanks @nikolas-burkoff

If you run devtools::load_all() in the top directory of your repository (teal.modules.clinical), internal functions will be available to you. Once the module is added to the package, it will be able to use its internal functions.
Thank you for your advice. It's very helpful.
