as pointed out to me the last time I was struggling with similar
issues, if (interactive()) { ... } is another potential solution

The problem here was regarding user facing example():s, not package tests.
In order to keep a neat example for the user to play with, I'd
probably wrap the example code in a \donttest{} statement. Though, I
don't remember if CRAN tests with R CMD check --run-dontest, or not.
There's also \dontrun{}.

Don't test against a live website for most of your testing... use recorded or
simulated input. If your package functional interface doesn't allow for that,
then re-factor it so it does.
For those tests that actually have to interact with the live website, only run
them if you know you are not on CRAN. The testthat package has support for this
if you don't want to roll your own.

Dear all,
My package openSkies includes a set of functions to retrieve
information from the OpenSky API.
The examples for these functions can, on rare occassions, take
anomously longer times to complete than usually because of issues on
the API side.
I have already included a timeout parameter to prevent endless attempts
to retrieve the result when, for example, the API is down for
maintenance.
I have recently been asked by CRAN to reduce the execution time of each
example to below 5 s. In order to do this, I can set the timeout
parameter to something below 5s, and return NULL and a message
indicating the resource is not currently available. However, I think
this might not be the best option for examples that demonstrate
important functionalities to users.
Therefore, I was wondering if there is anyway to set up the timeout
parameter to a different value than usual based on the condition that
examples are being run as part of R CMD check?
Thanks a lot in advance
Best wishes,
Rafa
