I take a complementary approach; I condition on, my home-made,
R_TEST_ALL variable.  Effectively, I do:

if (as.logical(Sys.getenv("R_TEST_ALL", "FALSE"))) {
    ...
}

and set R_TEST_ALL=TRUE when I want to run that part of the test.  You
can also imagine refined versions of this, e.g. R_TEST_SETS=foo,bar
and test scripts with:

if ("foo" %in% strsplit(Sys.getenv("R_TEST_SETS"), split="[, ]+")[[1]]) {
    ...makes no assumption
}

That avoids making assumptions on where the tests are submitted/run,
may it be CRAN, Bioconductor, Travis CI, ...

This is the right way to do it.

This discussion has come up before. If you want to submit to CRAN, you should include tests that satisfy their requests. If you want even more tests, there are several ways to add them in addition to the CRAN tests. Henrik's is one, "R CMD check --test-dir=myCustomTests" is another.

Rainer's package is unusual, in that from his description it can't really work unless the user obtains an API key. There are other packages like that, and those cases need manual handling by CRAN: they don't really run full tests by default. But the vast majority of packages should be able to live within the CRAN guidelines.

The fda package disables some tests on CRAN using:


if(!fda::CRAN()){
       test you don't want run on CRAN

Seemingly this just checks for a couple of (5 by default) environment
variables that match "^_R_":
https://github.com/cran/fda/blob/0549e6a86aa144d8c2aade2d8704a269fb8a94ed/R/CRAN.R#L14

I am not sure if this is a good indication of the machine being a CRAN
machine, I do set  some of these
occasionally on my machine.  It would be great if CRAN machines could
set a specific environment
variable globally, e.g. ON_CRAN, or _R_ON_CRAN_, so people could skip
these tests and examples
easily.


Agreed.  Before I wrote that function, I asked this list for
suggestions.  The suggestion I got was, "Don't do it."  I felt that was
not acceptable so wrote what I did.  I think we need a better solution.

         I've used this in other contexts with tests that are too long to
run on CRAN but that I want to run otherwise during "R CMD check".

Hey,

Maybe webmockr (or something alike) can help:

OK - thanks. I will than disable the checks for CRAN.

Thanks,

Rainer

You should not run on CRAN. Note that the checks are done almost daily
oin several platforms, hence the API key is used for about 10 check runs a
day.

Hi
I have a package at GitHub (https://github.com/rkrug/ROriginStamp)
which I am pre[paring for CRAN.
It creates a trusted timestamp using the API fro OriginStamp (
https://originstamp.org/home) which requires an API key. Now this API
should not be made public, as to much traffic through one API key will lead
to it’s blocking.
I have stored the key encrypted in the travis.yml, and the package
passes all tests.
But if I send it to CRAN, it would fail the tests, as the api key is
not in the package itself.
I could disable all tests for CRAN which need the API key, but I think
it would be better tu run the tests there as well (as an additional check
to travis).
My question:
Is there a way of storing the API key encrypted, so that only the CRAN
test servers can decrypt it, or is there another way can steal with this?
Thanks,
Rainer
