Import fails, when the XML has a documentation element. My file has the following element and I receive the error message given in the title.

    <documentation id="Barcode">
        <text>1234567890</text>
    </documentation>

Please try to import file with current github version.
Or you can give me file and I'll test it.

The latest version seems to have an issue with checkmate. I'm getting this error message:

> test <- RDML$new("~/Downloads/1507AA31.rdml")

Loading experiment: Data_Vermeulen_B.xls
    run: HMBS_20080318
Error in RDML$new("~/Downloads/1507AA31.rdml") : 
  Assertion on 'name' failed: Must be of type 'string', not 'NULL'

Looks like it tries to assert an unset variable, but the message is not really specific, so I'm not sure where it occurs. I tried with this file from rdmldb.org, in case you want to look into it.

I corrected this issue but got another because 1507AA31.rdml doesn't follow format... I'll ask authors about this.

Very cool! I know, most of the files on rdmldb.org are invalid. Don't worry about it.

As long as your package works, it would help me a great deal.

Edit: Cool, it seems to work now. You can close this issue if you want. Thank you!

if it's not a secret: what do you do with my package and what pcr system do you use?
