Hello, All:
GitHub Action has been running on 5 platforms for over a half hour on a
tiny package:
https://github.com/sbgraves237/SS4Maddison
I'm trying to follow the current recommendation in Wickham and Bryan, R
Packages.[1] I just added ~R/MaddisonProjectData.R, documenting data
objects I have yet to add to the package, attempting to follow the
instructions in R Packages, section 7.1.2 Documenting datasets.[2]
Then "devtools::load_all()" on my local computer put R into an apparent
infinite loop.[3] After breaking out of that, I managed to replicate the
behavior on 5 platforms on GitHub Action.
What do you suggest?
You can cancel Github actions. I'd recommend cancelling 4 of the 5, and
letting the 5th run for longer.
Several of them are stuck just after "* checking for sufficient/correct
file permissions ... OK". I think the next test should be "checking
whether package ‘foo’ can be installed ...", so it looks like there are
installation problems. Whether those are problems in the package or
problems at Github I couldn't tell you.
