How is testthat related to this? When you `R CMD INSTALL` a package, AFAICT it does not install the test by default. Independently of what testsuite you use.
Base R has a set of functions tools::testInstalledBasic tools::testInstalledPackage tools::testInstalledPackages so that an _installed_ package can be tested. Unless, of course, it uses testthat. Matt Dowle just run into this (per a question on StackOverflow). RUnit, on the other hand, supports this.
I am probably missing sg, but is this expected to run the Rcpp test suite?
tools::testInstalledPackage("Rcpp", types = "tests")
Because it takes 1ms to run and has no output.
