`Root criterion: contains a file "DESCRIPTION" with contents matching "^Package: "`

[bschilder]

This error only seems to occur in the examples during Rstudio checks. I can't even replicate it with: devtools::run_examples() in the Rstudio console:

    h <- readme_header(owner = "RajLabMSSM",
                       repo = "echolocatoR")

  Error: No root directory found in /Users/schilder/Desktop/echoverse/echogithub.Rcheck or its parent directories. Root criterion: contains a file "DESCRIPTION" with contents matching "^Package: "

Seems like it might be related to the checks having a different dir structure, but can't figure it out.

rprojroot might help somehow:

Supplying ref and pkg args to the badger functions did seem to help either. Neither did turning off: add_hex or add_version. Which is really weird, be the error occurs right after the message for "Adding version."

Might be related to utils::packageDescription, as I'm having similar issues in echodeps::package_metadata, which uses that same function and was working fine until recently.
