Dear all, I am preparing an update to my CRAN package 'spatialwarnings' and fixing the last issues before submitting it. I keep running into this type of message arising during checking: * checking top-level files ... NOTE Non-standard files/directories found at top level: 'file35451f8cc152' 'file35451f9d8e7a' 'file3545214f4cdf' 'file354524b354c4' 'file35452559ca7' 'file354525cb8eb1' 'file35452a4e4bdd' 'file35452ac564a0' 'file35452ae421b2' 'file35452d03ad' 'file35452dc8e4d4' 'file354530b2d171' [snip] (the complete log is available there: https://pastebin.com/JgyG9SwJ ) This happens for a variety of architectures, R versions and building service (I tried rhub and win-builder). I am a bit puzzled because the files are absent from the archive built through R CMD build and from my git tree. I also added the following pattern to my .Rbuildignore to try to fix the issue: ^file.*$, without success. I have no idea of what generates these files (the problem does not arise on my computers). Any hints on how to fix this ? Thanks in advance and sorry if the question has already been asked (a quick search returned nothing)
Those look like filenames generated by the tempfile() function. Those would normally be in the tempdir() directory. If you have some environment variable (TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP) set to ".", they could be created in the top level of your package. Alternatively, if you are using basename() on tempfile() you'll get the same sort of thing. Duncan Murdoch
Ah, this was exactly it ! My checking script was using a temporary directory (using tempdir()) and those files were created in the package root for some reason. Thanks very much for the quick answer, Alexandre
