[R-pkg-devel] Failed: Future File Timestamp Check
It has to have the "datetime" entry. If you can't fix your network you can skip that test with _R_CHECK_FUTURE_FILE_TIMESTAMPS_=FALSE
I'm quite sure that is overridden 'R CMD check' when using the --as-cran flag. The workaround that I have found is to set environment variable: _R_CHECK_SYSTEM_CLOCK_=FALSE I have observed <http://worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/etc/UTC> timing out a lot over the last couple of months from several different networks and hosts. I've seen it happen in the past too (last couple of years), but it has got considerably worse recently. Maybe they're throttling in per IP(?). I consider it quite unreliable these days, so I use _R_CHECK_SYSTEM_CLOCK_=FALSE by default now. /Henrik On Tue, Feb 4, 2025 at 5:50?PM Simon Urbanek

Josiah, that test tests the accuracy of the system clock by querying https://worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/etc/UTC so my guess would be that you have either network or proxy issues which cause that request to fail by providing garbage instead of the actual response. The call to test yourself is
readLines("http://worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/etc/UTC", warn=FALSE)
[1] "{\"utc_offset\":\"+00:00\",\"timezone\":\"Etc/UTC\",\"day_of_week\":3,\"day_of_year\":36,\"datetime\":\"2025-02-05T01:42:19.272728+00:00\",\"utc_datetime\":\"2025-02-05T01:42:19.272728+00:00\",\"unixtime\":1738719739,\"raw_offset\":0,\"week_number\":6,\"dst\":false,\"abbreviation\":\"UTC\",\"dst_offset\":0,\"dst_from\":null,\"dst_until\":null,\"client_ip\":\"121.98.39.155\"}"

I'm running R CMD check for my package {calcite} (source:
https://github.com/r-arcGIS/calcite) which is failing due to what *looks* like
a bug.
R CMD check fails at "checking for future file timestamps"
I get this error: ...Error in if (abs(unclass(now_local) -
unclass(now)[1]) > 300) missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed.
It seems that an NA is being generated somehow during this check but I'm
unsure how.
One thing that comes to mind is that the file that contains all of my
function definitions is generated using writeLines() but the output of `
file.info()` looks normal to me.
