[R-pkg-devel] Error in winbuilder

[Nicholas Tierney]

Hi Everyone,

I have an error when submitting to Winbuilder for my R package, naniar
.

When using `devtools::check_win_devel()` or `devtools::check_win_release()`
on naniar, I get the following logfile from winbuilder:

```
* using log directory 'd:/RCompile/CRANguest/R-release/naniar.Rcheck'
* using R version 4.0.2 (2020-06-22)
* using platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32 (64-bit)
* using session charset: ISO8859-1
* checking for file 'naniar/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* checking extension type ... Package
* this is package 'naniar' version '0.5.3'
* package encoding: UTF-8
* checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... ERROR
Check process probably crashed or hung up for 20 minutes ... killed
Most likely this happened in the example checks (?),
if not, ignore the following last lines of example output:

 End of example output (where/before crash/hang up occured ?)

```

(submission URL here: https://win-builder.r-project.org/77PYyM2kMri1/)

I had previously thought this was a problem to do with CRAN being closed
last week, but apparently this is not the case, and it should have been
working. I cannot find any details on CRAN for this, but it passes build on
R HUB for windows, and it passes build with no warnings, errors, or notes
for me on Mac OSX, as well as on github actions (windows, macOS, and
ubuntu).

Just wondering if anyone has thoughts on this? I have also cross
posted on Rstudio
community
<

>,
in case that is of interest.

Thanks for your time, and apologies if I have missed something obvious.

All the best,

Nick

Hi Michael,

I do indeed have quite a few examples in the package, this hasn't been a
problem in the past, but I guess I could try reducing them down. Have you
had this problem before?

Cheers,

Nick

Hi Uwe,

OK thank you for that, good to know! I imagine it might be a bit tricky to
know when, but do you have an idea of when submissions might return to
normal? Or should I be good to submit again soon?

Thanks again,

Nick

Re: [R-pkg-devel] proper way to cite an invalid URL

[Nicholas Tierney]

Could you potentially look for the original website in the internet archive
/ wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/ and cite that instead?
