[R-pkg-devel] CRAN submission struggle

Hi,

Thank you for showing the difference in the ExampleTradeData. I've fixed
this by adding a .Gitignore file and a "data-raw" folder to load the
ExampleTradeData. I hope I did this correctly. When I check the package (
https://github.com/WoutersResearchGroup/R-IO-PS/tree/CRAN-prep) in RStudio.
I only get 3 notes (see below), and if I run it in PositCloud, it crashes
or yields the same 1 ERROR and 2 NOTES result as before. Why might this be?
Is it a problem or is it fine if I continue working in RStudio since I
cannot increase the specs in PositCloud because I'm working on a research
group account?

Here are the 3 notes I receive in RStudio:

The first is the expected New Submission Note.

The second is the runtime that is too long:
* checking examples ... [43s] NOTE
Examples with CPU (user + system) or elapsed time > 5s
       user system elapsed
IOPS 10.06   3.35   35.04
How can I reduce this time? I'm not sure how to reduce the size of my
ExampleTradeData without the check giving errors when running the example.

The third note I am unsure what it means:
* checking for detritus in the temp directory ... NOTE
Found the following files/directories:
   'lastMiKTeXException'

Kind regards
Christiaan

Still, I couldn't figure out why I ran into this problem, so I
created a test file called "Test Example.R" (available at the same
GitHub repository:
https://github.com/WoutersResearchGroup/R-IO-PS/tree/CRAN-prep).

I see you're always adding or updating files to the GitHub repo by
means of uploading. While that's certainly one way to use GitHub, it's
combines the least convenient aspects of two approaches to using GitHub.

With GitHub purely in the browser, GitHub is just a website where you
keep and edit code, running nothing else on the local computer. Code
can be run in Codespaces or using GitHub Actions. Microsoft will want
to be paid money to run code on their computers.

With GitHub as a Git remote, there is a local checkout [*] that's kept
in sync with GitHub by means of commits [**] and pushes [***], letting
you create meaningful, describable snapshots of changes in your code
spanning multiple files at the same time.

Right now, it probably feels like Dropbox but worse.

This file creates the function in the global environment (note that
this is the same function code as available in the package
"R/iopspackage2.0.R" file), and then runs this function with the same
example as in the package (If you want to try this yourself, just
load the data/ExampleTradeData.rda in before running the Test Example
file). This test file yields no errors when I run it and produces the
correct results. When I then proceed to build and check the package,
it yields the same example error as before. I do not understand why
or what could cause this issue.

The difference is in the ExampleTradeData variable, which "Test
Example.R" doesn't define.

With data(ExampleTradeData), the script works.

With ExampleTradeData <-

read.csv(system.file("extdata","ExampleTradeData.csv",package="iopspackage")),
the script fails exactly the same way as example(IOPS) does.

I'm not sure if I should send out another email to the developers to
see if someone else spots something I'm not seeing.

It may help to keep Cc: r-package-devel at r-project.org in the e-mails
for the search engines to index the potential solutions in the mailing
list archives.
