Using tools:::.check_package_datasets() produces the error, but doesn't give out any more information. I don't know enough about some fo the write() function. If I write to csv of some sort, will this information be preserved?
Thanks,

Thanks. What is surprising me is I can't reproduce the error either directly on my Mac or on rhub::windows and I am waiting for the result of win-builder (I can't check most rhub::linux because it fails to correctly build a number of required packages, something I have reported but still persists - like rgdal, rerddap, crul, ncdf4).

Hi All:
The recent nighty CRAN checks on one of my packages reports:
Check: data for non-ASCII characters
Result: NOTE
Note: found 1 marked UTF-8 string
When originally submitted this was not the case. All my data files are .RData files, and even more so most are binary data. If they were text files I could readily scan for UTF, is there a way once I read the data into R to do a similar scan from within R. I just ran the most recent (Github) version of devtools::check() and it doesn't report an error. Or is there a way I can get more specific information from the CRAN nightly build or Rhub or the like?
That message comes when the tools:::.check_package_datasets function detects a string containing a UTF-8 encoding. You can run it directly and you might get a more informative message. If not, I suppose you could fix() it and add some extra debugging messages....
It's argument is "pkgDir"; I think that is the directory holding the files after untarring the .tar.gz file.
