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

Tue, Mar 5, 2019 3:59 AM

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.

Timothy

Apparently your checks wait for the brower beeing closed.

Do not expect interactions in the examples. Please only run non
interactive functionality in the examples and enclose ingteractice parts
within

if(interactive()){

...}

Best,

Hi all,
I am still trying to submit my first package, I've corrected a few

bibs

and

bobs and submitted with running examples. On my computer running check
--as-cran, the examples run perfectly, but on submission they don't

seem

to

run for some reason.
Here is the return from submission, 3 NOTEs ( the first one is

checking

CRAN incoming feasibility ...) .

So I think that the examples aren't running at all rather than taking

50m

to run. The examples run an R function calling C++ function that
systematically opens an .html file in a browser. I could see this as a
problem maybe?

When looking at the pdfs in the package.check in examples the pdf file
"Package-Ex" is   empty/not working , could this be a reason for the
malfunction? Or is it normal?
Here is the report :

https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/DataViz_0.2_20190228_113204/Windows/00check.log



Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,

Timothy
