Hello List!

I am prepping gtsummary for a new release, but I am running into a problem
with the CRAN win-builder.

The package is passing checks on my local Windows machine, another local
Windows machine, on a GitHub Actions Windows machine (
https://github.com/ddsjoberg/gtsummary/runs/729569705?check_suite_focus=true).
However I am getting this error on win-builder in `00check.log`:

Check process probably crashed or hung up for 20 minutes ... killed
Most likely this happened in the example checks (?),
if not, ignore the following last lines of example output:

======== End of example output (where/before crash/hang up occured ?) ========

link to win-builder results https://win-builder.r-project.org/SFSFeP44df58/

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this error?  The build is also passing on
macOS and Ubuntu GitHub Actions checks.

Thank you!
Daniel

In my opinion, if you've tested on multiple Windows system that
you've done your due diligence and shouldn't worry too much about
win-builder hiccups ...

Seems like your tests did not finish:
https://win-builder.r-project.org/SFSFeP44df58/examples_and_tests/tests_x64/testthat.Rout

Either they take too long, or they froze. You can use a different
testthat reporter, to see which one is stuck, e.g. like this:
https://github.com/cran/desc/blob/3e52b4923c7852bc00fbc94887c42657ffc67283/tests/testthat.R#L4

Simply:

** running tests for arch 'i386' ... [14m] OK

And the CRAN threshold for the whole package is 10 min. So only the 
tests for two architectures already take ~ 30 min here. which is too 
much for CRAN.

Best,

Thank you!  I added skip on CRAN to the time intensive tests, and it's
passing again.  MUCH APPRECIATED!
