CRAN "noSuggests" #184

Closed josherrickson closed 4 years ago

josherrickson commented 4 years ago

So it looks like CRAN is running an additional test where they are passing the _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_=FALSE argument to ignore Suggests in DESCRIPTION. We put most of the packages used exclusively for testing or vignettes (e.g. rmarkdown) in Suggests so we're getting some failures here.

https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_optmatch.html https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/noSuggests/optmatch.out

I'm not sure whether this requires any action on our part yet - we're not failing any primary checks, only some oddball new secondary check. I can't find much information about this change, so this issue is mostly to remind us to keep an eye out.

Well, the link on the main results page has vanished, but the noSuggests/optmatch.out file still exists.

Maybe we dodged a bullet on this one, instead of making us try to fix they fixed the request for a fix?

(At the moment we do fine on the cran check that Josh links to in the issue statement, it's just the additional Oxford Ripley check that we fail. And who among us expects to pass a supplemental check by Ripley?)

Either they changed their minds, or accidentally previewed a new feature. The reference has not re-appeared on the results page. I'll close this for now, though when the now-overdue latest issue of R Journal comes out, we should check Updates to CRAN to see if it is mentioned.
