failed action due to matrixStats

[avallecam]

After solving #7 by removing sandpaper and pegboard from renv.lock we got this new failed action (follow the link to the error message)

The error line is the following (reference)

  - Installing matrixStats ...                    FAILED

I think matrixStats needs to be updated to a more modern version in renv.lock as well. That version is so old that it's not compatible with our compiler.

Thank you, Hugo.

Yes, indeed. It was due to the version included in the renv.lock. Yesterday we identified that {MatrixStats} was part of {EpiEstim} dependency tree (within {coarseDataTools}).

We solved it in d07d351 and 421eda6 by replacing the renv.lock with the one I generated in the workbench-spanish repo.

I replaced the explicit installation from r-universe to CRAN with sandpaper::pin_version(), removing the explicit reference to all the dependency tree in the renv.lock file, leaving to the GitHub action to install them, see this commit avallecam/workbench-spanish@8408159

Then I tried the same for {rstan} which also generated a similar error in previous workflows, so added a pin_version of it too in a later commit, and it worked fine.

This solution is still under observation.

When using sandpaper::pin_version() to add the CRAN-specific additions to renv.lock, I used the renv::record() notation as suggested in pin_version and as in these lines of code:

record <- list(
  Package = "EpiEstim", 
  Version = "2.2-4", 
  Source = "Repository", 
  Repository = "CRAN"
)
sandpaper::pin_version(list(EpiEstim = record))

record <- list(
  Package = "rstan", 
  Version = "2.32.3", 
  Source = "Repository", 
  Repository = "CRAN"
)
sandpaper::pin_version(list(rstan = record))

This is still a limited solution, but a useful patch for the moment.
