Re: [R] I'd like to request that my R CRAN package is not tested on Solaris OS

Lampros, You can use Rhub for testing packages on various platforms. I had a similar issue to you...I had a tiny bug that was only failing on M1mac. I was able to resolve it by repeatedly testing my package on Rhub. Here's how I did that: https://github.com/kwstat/nipals/issues/5 Kevin Wright

Re: [R] I'd like to request that my R CRAN package is not tested on Solaris OS

Thank you all for your answers, I'll give it a try using both valgrind (on linux) and the rhub's linux gcc Address Sanitizers (Asan). I've already used rhub to test the package on the Solaris OS but it didn't give any error (it seems to me that the configurations between CRAN and rhub differ). La

Re: [R] I'd like to request that my R CRAN package is not tested on Solaris OS

I agree with others that this suggests there is a hidden bug in the code. In addition to running with Valgrind, R-hub's > rhub::check(platform="linux-x86_64-rocker-gcc-san") will compile the native code with the Address Sanitizer (ASan) and the UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer (UBSan). Those have hel

Re: [R] I'd like to request that my R CRAN package is not tested on Solaris OS

I agree with Stefan. Try using valgrind (on Linux) to check for memory misuse: R --debugger=valgrind --debugger-args="--leak-check=full --track-origins=yes" ... > yourTests() > q("no") -Bill On Fri, Oct 22, 2021 at 7:30 AM Stefan Evert wrote: > Just to add my personal cent to this: I've had

Re: [R] I'd like to request that my R CRAN package is not tested on Solaris OS

Just to add my personal cent to this: I've had similar issues with an R package some time ago, which kept crashing somewhat unpredictably in the Solaris tests. Debugging was hard because it only happened on Solaris, but in the end it turned out to be due to serious bugs in the code that only h

Re: [R] I'd like to request that my R CRAN package is not tested on Solaris OS

Hi, Just to add some additional comments that may be helpful. 1. The CRAN repository policy here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html notes: "Package authors should make all reasonable efforts to provide cross-platform portable code. Packages will not normally be accepted

Hi Lampros, I cannot answer your question but I believe the correct place to post such a question would be the r-package-devel list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel Good luck On Fri, Oct 22, 2021 at 2:13 PM lampros mouselimis wrote: > > Dear R-help team, > > I'm the mainta

[R] I'd like to request that my R CRAN package is not tested on Solaris OS

Dear R-help team, I'm the maintainer of the textTinyR package. Currently the package fails on the Solaris Operating System (OS), you can see the results in the following weblink: https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_textTinyR.html All my packages are tested on Solaris OS automatica
