[notabug] How to fix R BATCH so that tests work?

[barracuda156]

There is some issue with R in Macports, apparently affecting only R BATCH, which causes tests to fail with some packages, including altdoc. This is not your bug, this is our bug, I believe.

But maybe someone could advise me how to fix this?

I got the same error with several packages, and on different architectures with different compilers. I think the issue is with R itself, and likely specifically in Macports. See also: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/67059

Sorry, I have no clue about this. I don't know what R BATCH is, and I don't have a Mac so I can't explore this more deeply. The Github actions on macOS are passing and I don't see any other error message in what you report above.

Closing as I don't think anyone but Etienne and I monitor this repository, and neither of us know about this.

Also, not altdoc specific.

Got it, thank you.
