missing Dataset on datasets about rdatasets HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for the report. The problem is that:

> data(list = "state.x77", package = "datasets")
Warning message:
In data(list = "state.x77", package = "datasets") :
  data set ‘state.x77’ not found

from rdatasets.

here is an image when I load the dataset here is the doc of R dataset: https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/datasets/html/state.html
the state had multiple datasets associate

from rdatasets.

Right, sorry. This was a cryptic note-to-self.

The problem is that the script I use to scrape datasets calls the data function as I showed above. But for some obscure reason, the function does not appear to work in the case of this particular dataset. Fixing this would require modifying this function:

However, I'm not sure how to do it in a general way that will still work with all current datasets and not break anything.

I will close this now because nobody has suggested a solution and I have not found one myself. Everybody should feel free to re-open or keep commenting to suggest a new solution.
