[R-pkg-devel] unusually slow tests on win-builder

The relevant output is below:

* checking examples ...
** running examples for arch 'i386' ... [24s] NOTE
Examples with CPU or elapsed time > 10s
     user system elapsed
cfa 8.05   0.36   10.08
** running examples for arch 'x64' ... [28s] NOTE
Examples with CPU or elapsed time > 10s
      user system elapsed
cfa 10.62   0.23      12
* checking for unstated dependencies in 'tests' ... OK
* checking tests ...
** running tests for arch 'i386' ... [25s] OK
   Running 'testthat.R' [24s]
** running tests for arch 'x64' ... [32s] OK
   Running 'testthat.R' [31s]


I'm not sure why you're saying it's taking too long to run your tests
when the output is telling you that it's your examples that are taking
too long to run.  It's also not taking 24 and 28 seconds - I believe
that is just a timestamp telling you that it's producing that note 24
and 28 seconds into the check but I could be wrong.  Either way the
relevant output for how long the examples take look like:

     user system elapsed
cfa 8.05   0.36   10.08

That which tells you total it took 10.08 seconds to run the examples
for arch 'i386'.

hi,

i've uploaded a version of my package to the win-builder service, but it is
reporting that one of my tests takes > 10 seconds to run. examining the log
here:

https://win-builder.r-project.org/BvR4nreDE9qP/00check.log

the win-builder is taking 24 and 28 seconds to run this test.

on my local machine, this same test runs in 600ms

can anyone shed any light on this? why is the win-builder so slow?

with thanks
