• [x] run test with cran=true and network cable unplugged
  • this test verifies that the tests (for CRAN) do not rely on DataONE services
  • unplug cable, Sys.setenv(NOT_CRAN="false"), devtools::test()
  • note that running devtools::check() needs internet to build/validate vignettes, so have to use test() instead
• [x] test with testthat 3e

@mbjones the most recent code on the develop branch has been tested with:

• devtools::check_win_devel()
• devtools::check_win_release()
• devtools::check_win_oldrelease()
• rhub::check_for_cran(platforms=c("fedora-clang-devel", "fedora-gcc-devel", "debian-gcc-release"))
• macOS 10.14.6 R 4.0.3

without any ERRORs or WARNINGS.

Submitting to check_win_devel() is the best practices method for checking for URLs that cause redirects, according to Jim Hester (https://github.com/r-lib/devtools/issues/2276), and rdataone has passed that check.

Should I merge develop to master and resubmit? There are no warnings regarding redirected URLS. I don't see a way to

[mbjones]

Yes, that sounds good for now. It seems like the suggestion to run devtools::check(remote = TRUE, cran=TRUE) is the best way once the version of R that checks incoming checks is out there (which I think is already in r-devel for R 4.1). So I think this will be a good approach to be able to test this stuff locally before having to submit to remote services once R 4.1 is out. So, please add the remote=TRUE flag to your checklist.

[mbjones]

All done.
