Ah, good point. Although then the follow-up question why is it just asking for an unspecified dataset, and not for time series? Indeed I just tested with the panel dataset abdata.gdt, and didn't get the error message, although of course the underlying SVAR functions cannot do anything sensible with panel data.On Fri, Jul 26, 2024 at 10:15 AM Sven Schreiber <sven.schreiber@fu-berlin.de> wrote:- The package specifies "no-data-ok" and this also shows up in the info. However, when executing the package GUI, a warning dialog with "this requires a dataset" appears.I think that's because your package depends on SVAR, which requires time-series data.
- The GUI_SVAR_setID_uimaker function is declared as the ui-maker, and requests no_const both for the lists X and Y, as well as no_singleton for Y. However, in the GUI I can execute the package under all those cases that are supposed to be prevented.Your package doesn't seem to specify a menu attachment: that's required for the ui-maker to kick in.
Hm, I see. But what's required per the documentation strikes me as reasonable, namely: "The ui-maker is called internally when the relevant dialog box is to be shown" and "...the dialog box shown when the gui-main function of a package is called". Why should the menu attachment be a necessary ingredient there?
thanks
