[R-pkg-devel] CRAN submission examples don't run

Hi and thank you Joris for the response,

Seeing as my functions are interactive, wouldn't the CRAN check (on 
submission) return errors seins that it won't run any of the examples 
because they are interactive?

Sorry if the questions sound dumb!

Regards,
Timothy

    Dear Timothy,

    Uwe meant to include that code in the _examples_, not in your actual
    functions. Whenever an example is expected to open a web page, use
    if(interactive()) to avoid it from being run by the test
    infrastructure.

    On a sidenote: It would make sense to add this as a first check to
    functions which can only work when called interactively. That's up
    to you. However, beware of errors created when the function is not
    run interactively, as this would also cause your examples to give
    errors.

    Cheers
    Joris

        Thank Uwe for the answer,
        But the purpose of the package is ?when the input data is dealt
        with? open
        a .html page. Does that mean in my R code I should write :
        [....]
        if(interactive())
        {
         ? ? .Call(C++ code)
        }
        In my c++ code the interactive part is a   
        *system(html_path);*? ? is
        there an equivalent C++ condition to check if interactive?

        So either I protect the whole C++ function with the interactive
        check,
        either I protect the system() call?

        Thanks, Uwe for the interactive() function I'm new to R and
        don't know all
        the functions.

        Regards,
        Timothy
