Hi
I'm a first time package submitter to CRAN and have a question on how to
handle unit tests on Windows. The SparkR [1] package [2] file that we are
trying to submit passes "R CMD check --as-cran" with no errors on both
Linux and OS X.
On Windows, the package builds successfully but requires additional
binaries [3] to be installed in order for the unit tests to run. While we
have a automated test runner that installs the binaries and runs tests on
every commit [4] on AppVeyor, when "R CMD check --as-cran" is run on
winbuilder, the tests fail.
Given this situation, is it possible to specify in our CRAN submission that
the package should only be tested on Unix machines ? Or is it recommended
that we include scripts to install the additional binaries during a CRAN
check on winbuilder ?
Tell me and if the requirements are reasonable and easy to install I'll
consider to install them.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
Thanks for your help and please let me know if any further details about
the package will help in resolving this.
Thanks
