[R-pkg-devel] checking for detritus in the temp directory ... NOTE 'RtmpvRaBK1_copy'

Hi All

I?m getting the following Note for CRAN r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc
* checking for detritus in the temp directory ... NOTE
Found the following files/directories:
  ?RtmpvRaBK1_copy?
 but not on R-hub or any of of the other versions/operating systems tested:

	? OSX (local) - release
	? OSX (actions) - release
	? Ubuntu (actions) - 3.6, oldrel, release and devel
	? Windows (actions) - release
	? Windows (winbuilder) - devel


The package is https://github.com/poissonconsulting/sims

The file names in other posts discussing similar issues are different in structure suggesting different mechanisms

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62456137/r-cran-check-detritus-in-temp-directory

Any help on how to debug appreciated

Thanks

Joe

I did a search for "_copy" on your Github source, and I see a dir 
containing that being created in a test (but apparently removed 
afterwards), and also being created in the sims.Rmd vignette without 
being removed (though a file in the directory is removed).

No idea why you see the NOTE only on some platforms.

Thanks Duncan

Yes the problem was that a dir was being created in the sims.Rmd vignette that was not being removed.

Thanks for helping identify the issue so quickly
