Test against R fail: `crossprod` is not a BUILTIN function #704

Closed s3alfisc closed 1 week ago

s3alfisc commented 2 weeks ago

Apparently, crossprod has been changed a while back (with R 4.4.0), with downstream impact on pyfixest. As a result, multiple unit tests currently fail. We could fix this by moving away from r2u and installing all R dependencies from source, which would lead to pretty bad increases in CI runtime, or by installing a lower R version via r2u (which I don't think is possible).

r2u currently installs R 4.4.2 in the CI wfls.

FYI @leostimpfle @vincentarelbundock, this is currently leading to test errors in your PRs.
