[R-pkg-devel] winbuilder status?

Hello, All:


How can I find the status of Win-builder requests?


Yesterday at around 22:00 UTC (17:00 UTC-5, Kansas City, USA) I 
submitted three requests to check the results of a change to Ecdat, and 
I have not seen the results now roughly 17 hours later. I used:


devtools::check_win_devel()
devtools::check_win_release()
devtools::check_win_oldrelease()


I got results from previous checks a few minutes before submitting these 
requests.


*** THANKS TO Ivan Krylov <ikrylov at disroot.org>, who suggested replacing 
"https://www.cde.ca.gov/" with 
"http://web.archive.org/web/20250823081216/https://www.cde.ca.gov/". I 
tested this locally with "R CMD check --as-cran Ecdat_0.4.6.tar.gz", and 
it seemed to work. I'd like to see the winbuilder results before 
resubmitting the package to CRAN.


Thanks, Spencer Graves

I don't see it in the queue:

 > foghorn::winbuilder_queue() |> subset(package=="Ecdat")

# A tibble: 0 ? 5
# ? 5 variables: package <chr>, version <pckg_vrs>, folder <chr>, time 
<dttm>,
#   size <int>

but IIRC this only shows packages that are actually in the queue, not 
those being processed ...

   cheers

Hi, Ben:


Thanks for this. I've added "foghorn::winbuilder_queue()" to my routine 
script ;-)


AND I restarted the ones I couldn't find, and they all completed as 
expected.

To the extent it's generally helpful, I have seen this for 3 packages during checking on winbuilder this week. Each with submissions during the late afternoon EST. Something may be stalling and resetting.

With Ben's tip to look at the list with foghorn, there does seem to be a small queue that gets stuck, so it's likely not package specific.

And, as with Spencer's experience, resubmitting later gives the normal response.

It's clearly intermittent, so resubmitting a few hours later seems to be a reliable response for now.

Best,
Chris
