Yes, it is meant to run with error

https://github.com/gesistsa/rio/blob/c6c626d438b08e3ebfafbbc98c334c85e5cb847b/vignettes/remap.Rmd#L62-L66

https://gesistsa.github.io/rio/articles/remap.html#ellipsis-or-dot-dot-dot

(Besides, OS X Snow Leopard on PPC, wow!)

[chainsawriot]

I remember I once had a similar problem with the R CMD check recently with rmd vignettes containing error = TRUE blocks on Linux. But I have forgotten how I fixed it. Something like updating R (but your R is already 4.4.0) and reinstalling knitr / rmarkdown.

[barracuda156]

@chainsawriot Sorry, I somehow missed to reply.

I can rebuild knitr and friends if that may potentially help. We still don’t know why this fails, do we?

[chainsawriot]

@barracuda156 Not a bad idea to rebuild knitr. I had a suspicion that either rmarkdown or knitr somehow failed and they have different defaults for the error chunk option. But it was too difficult to check what actually the problem is; and therefore I just reinstalled knitr.

[barracuda156]

@chainsawriot Rebuilt both, but no change to test results either here or with tibble.

[chainsawriot]

@barracuda156 I have a testing package for testing many things https://github.com/chainsawriot/rrrrrr

It contains now a vignette with error https://github.com/chainsawriot/rrrrrr/blob/v0.0/vignettes/error.Rmd.

You may try to check this and see whether you also get a check error. If it is the case, I would argue that rio or tibble should be fine; but your setup is the problem. I am afraid you would find better help on r-devel or r-package-devel.

With vignettes

git clone https://github.com/chainsawriot/rrrrrr.git
R CMD build rrrrrr
R CMD check rrrrrr_0.0.0.9000.tar.gz

Without vignettes (should emit warnings about missing vignettes, but not errors)

R CMD build rrrrrr --no-build-vignettes
R CMD check rrrrrr_0.0.0.9000.tar.gz

[barracuda156]

@barracuda156 To give you an interesting update: I uploaded the v1.1.1 to CRAN, and the oldrel release (I believe 4.3.3) gave the same error.

So, I think you are not alone (also, I experienced it previously too) and the problem should have something to do with R itself.

@chainsawriot Thank you, good to know. Then there is a chance it gets fixed by the upstream, provided they are aware of it.
