Unexpected error message while joining data.table with rbindlist() using mget()
问题 While preparing this answer, I've got the error message Error: value for ‘spine_hlfs’ not found from running setDT(giraffe)[rbindlist(mget(df_names), idcol = "df.name"), on = "runkey", project := df.name][] while df_list <- mget(df_names) setDT(giraffe)[rbindlist(df_list, idcol = "df.name"), on = "runkey", project := df.name][] works as expected. Before reporting an issue on github, I want to verify with the community that this indeed is a bug or if there is a simple explanation for the error
