I have created a new package so I found this issue when I wrote devtools::check()

❯ checking examples ... ERROR
  Running massageExamples to create 'first-Ex.R' failed
  Error in find.package(package, lib.loc) :

Can you show us your package, so we can also see what you see?

I am sorry, I meant the actual source code of your package, e.g. a GitHub repository or similar.

Thanks. However, I get a very different output than yours. See below. It seems unlikely to me that the output you posted is from this package.
