[R-pkg-devel] CRAN submission examples don't run
Dear Timothy, Uwe meant to include that code in the _examples_, not in your actual functions. Whenever an example is expected to open a web page, use if(interactive()) to avoid it from being run by the test infrastructure. On a sidenote: It would make sense to add this as a first check to functions which can only work when called interactively. That's up to you. However, beware of errors created when the function is not run interactively, as this would also cause your examples to give errors. Cheers Joris

Thank Uwe for the answer,
But the purpose of the package is ?when the input data is dealt with? open
a .html page. Does that mean in my R code I should write :
[....]
if(interactive())
{
.Call(C++ code)
}
In my c++ code the interactive part is a *system(html_path);* is
there an equivalent C++ condition to check if interactive?
So either I protect the whole C++ function with the interactive check,
either I protect the system() call?
Thanks, Uwe for the interactive() function I'm new to R and don't know all
the functions.
Regards,
Timothy

Apparently your checks wait for the brower beeing closed.
Do not expect interactions in the examples. Please only run non
interactive functionality in the examples and enclose ingteractice parts
within
if(interactive()){
...}
Best,

Hi all, I am still trying to submit my first package, I've corrected a few bibs
and
bobs and submitted with running examples. On my computer running check --as-cran, the examples run perfectly, but on submission they don't
seem
to
run for some reason.
Here is the return from submission, 3 NOTEs ( the first one is checking
CRAN incoming feasibility ...) .

So I think that the examples aren't running at all rather than taking
50m
to run. The examples run an R function calling C++ function that systematically opens an .html file in a browser. I could see this as a problem maybe? When looking at the pdfs in the package.check in examples the pdf file "Package-Ex" is empty/not working , could this be a reason for the malfunction? Or is it normal? Here is the report :
Any help would be appreciated!

Timothy
