[R-pkg-devel] GitHub Action failed re-building 'sos.Rnw'
For ks, if you look here: https://github.com/sbgraves237/sos/runs/2650960959?check_suite_focus=true in the "Install Dependencies" section, you'll see these errors: trying URL 'https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib/ks_1.13.0.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 1076044 bytes (1.0 MB) ================================================== downloaded 1.0 MB * installing *source* package ?plot3D? ... ** package ?plot3D? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked ** using staged installation ** R ** data *** moving datasets to lazyload DB ** inst ** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading Error: Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details: ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ?plot3D? call: fun(libname, pkgname) * removing ?/Users/runner/work/_temp/Library/plot3D? error: X11 library is missing: install XQuartz from www.xquartz.org Execution halted ERROR: dependency ?plot3D? is not available for package ?ks? * removing ?/Users/runner/work/_temp/Library/ks? so the problem is really with plot3D, and indirectly with rgl and tcltk. I'm familiar with problems like that! Here are the lines from the rgl workflow to work around the XQuartz issues: env: R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS: true _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_: false RSPM: ${{ matrix.config.rspm }} GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} RGL_USE_NULL: true The last line might be enough for you, but I think the 2nd line _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_: false may be more important: you use ks, it imports plot3D, plot3D imports misc3d, but it only suggests rgl and tkrplot: so that would let ks load without XQuartz support.

Hi, Duncan et al.:
Thanks again to Duncan. Your suggestions worked for the LaTeX
problem, though it required multiple iterations, adding a total of 7
different "tinytex::parse_install" clauses to overcome other LaTeX and
pdfTeX errors.
However, macOS still says, "there is no package called 'ks'", even
though I added 'install.packages("ks")' as you suggested -- to three
different places, all without solving the problem. I posted this
question to
"https://community.rstudio.com/new-topic?category=Package%20development&tags=github-actions",
as suggested in line 2 of "~/.github/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml". See:

This page https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/install-latex-pkgs.html suggests that executing this in R should fix the tikz issue: tinytex::parse_install( ? text = "! LaTeX Error: File `tikz.sty' not found." ) The "ks" message looks like a missing R package rather than a missing LaTeX package, so running install.packages("ks") would fix it. So the only question is how to do these things in a Github action.? I don't know if there's a pre-made recipe for this, but this one should do it: ????? - name: Install tikz.tex and ks ??????? run: | ????????? install.packages(c('tinytex', 'ks')) # Maybe tinytex is already there? ????????? tinytex::parse_install( ???????????? text = "! LaTeX Error: File `tikz.sty' not found." ????????? ) ??????? shell: Rscript {0} Duncan Murdoch On 23/05/2021 11:28 a.m., Spencer Graves wrote:
Hi, Duncan et al.: ????? Thanks very much to Duncan for his suggestion.? I did added the line Duncan suggested in three slightly different places.?

On macOS, I got a different error: there is no package called 'ks' ????? I added "ks" to "suggests" in DESCRIPTON but still got "no package called 'ks'.? And I studied README in https://github.com/r-lib/actions, and I did some other searches without figuring out how to fix "`tikz.sty' not found." ?????

Hello: ?????? What do you suggest I do to enable GitHub Action to process "sos.Rnw" properly? ?????? The development version of my "sos" package passes "R CMD check" on my Mac but fails in all four platforms under GitHub Action on https://github.com/sbgraves237/sos ?????? The error messages on macOS and Ubuntu release and devel all seems the same: ???????????? * Error: processing vignette 'sos.Rnw' failed with diagnostics: Running 'texi2dvi' on 'sos.tex' failed.? Messages: You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one. ?????? The error message under Windows seemed crudely similar but different: ???????????? * Error: processing vignette 'sos.Rnw' failed with diagnostics: pdflatex is not available ?????? What do you suggest?
The virtual machines that run Github actions have lots of tools installed, but apparently not LaTeX.? So you need to figure out the "step" to install it.? I'm not currently using Rnw with Github actions, but by looking at the README for https://github.com/r-lib/actions, I'm pretty sure all you need is to add ? ? - uses: r-lib/actions/setup-tinytex at v1 somewhere after ? ? - uses: actions/checkout at master
