Using ESS 16.04 from git and emacs 24.4.1 in a text only environment, when I do C-c-C-t C-s or the equivalent command (see subject) the echo area shows "wrong type argument: stringp, nil".
After toggling on the emacs debugger:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
directory-file-name(nil)
ess-r-package--find-package-path()
ess-r-package--local-package-info()
ess-r-package-get-info()
ess-r--select-package-name()
ess-r-set-evaluation-env(nil)
call-interactively(ess-r-set-evaluation-env record nil)
command-execute(ess-r-set-evaluation-env record)
execute-extended-command(nil "ess-r-set-evaluation-env")
call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
command-execute(execute-extended-command)
Also, the info documentation seems internally inconsistent; the news indicates using the command above is the way to go, but (ess)Top > Developing with ESS > ESS developer, section 10.3, seems to have the old commands, which do not work--or at least C-c C-t C-a gets me the same error.
