[R-pkg-devel] Cannot reproduce errors for an already-accepted package

I am having a hard time reproducing errors in Windows that CRAN finds on my
already-accepted rscala package.  Details of the ERROR's are here:

https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_rscala.html

In particular, CRAN's Windows check fails on tests written using the
testthat package.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the errors on any of the following
platforms:

+ My Windows 10 test machine running R 3.5.1.
+ The win-builder service (https://win-builder.r-project.org/)
+ The rhub service (https://github.com/r-hub/rhub)

Does anyone have advice on how to reproduce the errors?  Thanks.

Hi David,

all errors I see go back to scalaConnect(). As far as I could judge, on
CRAN this function doesn't return a TRUE or FALSE but a missing value for
some reason. As apparently all the failing tests need to call that
function, none of those can exit correctly. Why this works on rhub or
win-builder but not on CRAN is beyond me.

Cheers
Joris
