[R-pkg-devel] Cannot implement test configuration

? Wed, 3 Sep 2025 05:50:50 +0000
"H?sing, Johannes" <Johannes.Huesing at krebsregister.nrw.de> ?????:

? Setting active project to
"//some-server/UserHome$/jhuesing/project_path

So, the goal is for a drive letter path to be in the above output
instead of a UNC path?

structure(list(message = "[EPERM] Failed to stat
'//some-server/UserHome$': operation not permitted"), class =
c("EPERM", "fs_error", "error", "condition"), location =
"utils.cc:16"))

The error happens in fs::dir_create()... [1]

7: dir_create(path, recurse = TRUE)
6: create_directory(proj_path(path))
5: use_directory(path("tests", "testthat"))

...but the path originates from somewhere in usethis::proj_path().

Does getwd() return a path with a drive letter? If not, does it help to
setwd() to a drive letter path first?

Apparently usethis::proj_get() uses a UNC path. Does it help to give a
drive letter path to usethis::proj_set() first?

Best regards,
Ivan
