[R-pkg-devel] ICU init failed: U_FILE_ACCESS_ERROR

Ben ... I tried two more times today and still the same issue. Perhaps it is transient on a different time scale than what I have tested. I was hoping to not raise the R dependency level, but had thought about that as well. Thank you for your thoughts.

David ... thank you for the experience and advice. I will try noting that on my submission to CRAN and see what happens. I will report back so others can see my experience with this issue.

My package had this issue and still got accepted. I think it is a known transient glitch. Just mention it when you submit.

   Does it happen consistently?  If it's only happened once, could be a
transient glitch in package dependencies.  I'd try re-testing, as a
start.  Alternatively, if you're willing to add an R >= 3.5.1
dependency to your package, presumably CRAN won't mind if it fails
tests on old-release ...

I am considering a CRAN release of a new package and was using

R-winbuilder as a check. The check was successful with all but the
"old-release" version (see
https://win-builder.r-project.org/UhyHnNyn4Ukz/00check.log). The two
errors both appear to be related to tests using
testhtat::expect_output() and begin with the "ICU init failed: U_FILE_ACCESS_ERROR" error message.
The full output for the first error is pasted below. My internet
searches suggest (to me, but I am not confident) that this error is
related to the stringr or stringi packages, which both appear to be
used by testthat::expect_output(). Given that I don't receive this
error in any other checking, I am not sure how to troubleshoot it
(besides simply removing this test). Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
