Is it possible that you have complicated the task unnecessarily?
Normally, you can just do
if (requireNamespace("<suggested_pkg>", quietly=TRUE)) {
# do the tests involving <suggested_pkg>
}
Wasn't that enough?

Howdy Folks,
I recent had a package start failing because I wasn't checking properly
my tests to make sure my suggested packages were installed before running
tests. I think this is something new running on CRAN where packages are
tested with only the packages specified as Imports in the DESCRIPTION
are installed. It took me a bit of back and forth to get all of these
issues worked out. I was wondering if anyone has a good way to run R CMD
check with only the imports installed? A github action, or a
specific platform on rhub?
Thank you,
John
