Dear all,
as a follow-up to the question asked on R-package-devel (see link below):
Someone sent a package to CRAN with a few problems. There's more things
wrong with the submission, but one thing that really caught my eye was the
following error:
Warning message:
running command '"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-33~1.2/bin/x64/R" CMD BATCH --vanilla
"testthat.R" "testthat.Rout"' had status 1 ERROR Running the tests in
'tests/testthat.R' failed.
Last 13 lines of output:
Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or
'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help.
Type 'q()' to quit R.
> library(testthat)
Warning message:
package 'testthat' was built under R version 3.3.3
> library(bwt)
>
> test_check("bwt")
Error: No tests found for bwt
Execution halted
* DONE
I checked the package and it had no tests subfolder. Yet -as far as I can
judge- CRAN tried to run tests anyway and error'd when there were none to
be found. This would make sense of adding tests was obligatory, but I can't
find that back in the CRAN policies. Is this a hiccup at CRAN's side or am
I missing something obvious?
Cheers
Joris
