Package failing with devel version of checkmate

[mllg]

I'm preparing a new release of checkmate, and some minor changes in checkmate are causing your unit tests to break. AFAICT, tests fail because some error message have slightly changed:

  ── 1. Failure: fuzz testing input checks for differs_from_previous() (@test_diff

Can you relax the tests so that the current devel version of checkmate passes your tests again?

Hi Michel,

Thanks for a really useful package!

When do you plan to release it? I'm planning on a longer-term solution to testing error messages from different versions of packages, etc. That would require me to update xpectr as well on CRAN though, so perhaps it's better to just disable those tests temporarily. Depends on your deadline.

@mllg I've just submitted to CRAN without those tests, so hopefully it will be updated soon. I'll enable the tests again at a later point with the new checkmate version.

Great! Thank you!
