Getting alpha/pre-release version of R #2

Open csoneson opened 2 years ago

csoneson commented 2 years ago

In v2 of https://github.com/r-lib/actions/tree/v2-branch/setup-r, it is now possible to specify next as the R version:

r-version ('release') - Version range or exact version of an R version to use. “devel” is the current development version, and “next” is the next version of R, either R-patched, or R-alpha, R-beta, R-rc or R-prerelease.

It seems to me that the changes that were put in place last year (and that can now be properly tested 🙂) are working pretty well - I have obtained automatically both R-alpha and R-beta in my GitHub Actions in the past week or so 🎉. Currently the only thing that fails is the macOS build, but I think that's because https://api.r-hub.io/rversions/r-next-macos is still pointing to R 4.2.3 - the action in itself is looking for the 'next' version as expected.

Excellent, I'm glad it's working for you. It's frustrating that he R-hub API is still pointing the the wrong version for Mac. For a while there wasn't a R-4.3 build available, but it's been on https://mac.r-project.org/. I'm not sure where to open an issue to try and get it update, it was hoping it would just fix itself after the binary became available.

Looks like it has been fixed!
