[Bioc-devel] error on R CMD check

Dear Bioconductor Developers,

Can you please help with an error message from R CMD check for the package IFAA?

The BioConductor platform produced the following error message when
running R CMD check
(http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/IFAA/nebbiolo1-checksrc.html):
   "
   BiocGenerics:::testPackage("IFAA")
   Error in BiocGenerics:::testPackage("IFAA") :
     unable to find unit tests, no subdir 'unitTests'
   Execution halted
   "

   However, the error is very strange because the subdirectory
  "unitTests" is there in the folder "inst". And we have previously
  passed the test of the package thru the github webpage
  (https://github.com/Bioconductor/Contributions/issues/2651). We have
  also tested it on our own computer and it did not have this error.
Below is the output from our personal computer.

By any chance could it be because the IFAA package on CRAN got called
when running BiocGenerics:::testPackage("IFAA") on the BioConductor
platform? The IFAA package on CRAN indeed does not have the
subdirectory of "unitTests".
