CRAN checks give errors when no tests are included
Never mind my previous mail. It was his local check, not CRAN. My apologies for not paying enough attention. Cheers Joris

Dear all, as a follow-up to the question asked on R-package-devel (see link below): Someone sent a package to CRAN with a few problems. There's more things wrong with the submission, but one thing that really caught my eye was the following error: Warning message: running command '"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-33~1.2/bin/x64/R" CMD BATCH --vanilla "testthat.R" "testthat.Rout"' had status 1 ERROR Running the tests in 'tests/testthat.R' failed. Last 13 lines of output: Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or 'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help. Type 'q()' to quit R.

Error: No tests found for bwt Execution halted * DONE I checked the package and it had no tests subfolder. Yet -as far as I can judge- CRAN tried to run tests anyway and error'd when there were none to be found. This would make sense of adding tests was obligatory, but I can't find that back in the CRAN policies. Is this a hiccup at CRAN's side or am I missing something obvious?
