Yes, right, I see what you mean. This came up in https://github.com/benmarwick/rrtools/issues/76, so I think we just undo that change and should fix this.
Looking over the discussion in #76, I'd like to follow up on the option to separate the package name from the repo name. For example @cboettig names his compendium pkgs simply 'compendium', and then has more flexible names for the repo: https://github.com/cboettig/noise-phenomena/blob/master/DESCRIPTION
I like that because it saves the user from making a decision they probably don't care about. CRAN is not the end point for these compendium pkgs, so it hardly matters what the pkg is called.
The proposal to move the name checking to use_travis doesn't seem ideal because by then if we find we have to change it then we have to change it in many places.
What do you think about that @nevrome @wolass @adamhsparks ?
It's important to note that what's complaining here is Docker and in particular trying to build an image that includes upper case letters in the tag. GitHub is fine with capitals and as a default behaviour I think repo name should reflect compendium name.
The solution I'm proposing is to just ensure the docker image is tagged with the repo name in all lower case characters and that that's handled automatically in the TRAVIS file. So folks will still be free to have upper case in their compendium names and GitHub repos. The name of the image on Dockerhub will be the only thing that's slightly inconsistent (ie all lowercase).

Actually I thought of a really simple and small fix that could address this issue. Have a little look at #100 and let me know what you think. Worked for my compendium! 😃
Let's try it! I know you have a workshop very soon (and I'm doing another one in Japan today)
I can write a test too if you like.
Please wait for some discussion of your report before making a Pull Request.
Describe the bug
The default specification of variable
$REPO
in thetravis.yml
created usingrrtools::use_travis(docker=T)
causes the build to fail on TRAVIS because of an invalid tag format if the compendium name contains capital letters. Logs return the following error so it seems that docker hub does not accept capitals in tags.This could be problematic as compendium naming is already restricted so not allowing capitals in compendium names is not ideal.
To Reproduce Here's the logs of a TRAVIS build of a compendium showing the error, with the travis.yml in the default state.
Expected behavior
I fixed the error by assigning an all lower case version of
$REPO
in my.travis.yml
as such:REPO="$(echo $DOCKER_USER/rrcompendiumRSE19 | tr A-Z a-z)"
See full
.travis.yml
that works.Would be great to include this tweak in the template as it took me a couple of hours to figure out and fix and may well be an issue many end up encountering. Perhaps as:
in the
travis.yml-with-docker
template.(beware
REPO
is defined twice in the template)Look forward to your thoughts
