There isn't currently. Why do you want to install the tests?
I was hoping to run them after installation as basic integration tests. renv
allows this this via options()
, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68890715/install-r-package-with-specific-version-and-tests but I would love to use the automagic sys deps installation and parallel features of pak. Tagging @michaelmayer2.
edit: seems that you just set INSTALL_opts = ""
, how about exposing that via an INSTALL_opts
global option?

That means that you cannot install these packages from binaries, though. Is that OK?
What are you going to do if a test fails? Sporadic test failures do happen.

That is not the line/file that pak uses for installation, it is rather here: https://github.com/r-lib/pkgdepends/blob/6741f04bf5f7fc8d73d87b3a326b1bf5a3914a38/R/install-plan.R#L393-L397
But in any case, we can add support for this.

Absolutely - we consider using an internal offline package manager snapshot (only sources), that's why the parallel installation feature of pak is so great :)

Despair and run some kind of mitigation strategy or at least document a test failure. Sometimes restarting might help even if it is not Windows. If tests consistently fail, keep a record of those, assess them, and then diff against this log of 'safe fails'.

Great, thx 🚀.
Dear all,
is there a way of setting
INSTALL_opts
withpkg_install()
- I would like to install tests with"--install-tests"
but there seems to be no way of passing that throughpkg_install()
.
