Error messages when building book

[Robinlovelace]

I'm seeing this error message on bookdown::serve_book() after all the chapters have been build successfully. Not sure why, I don't think it should be happening as I have all packages installed with remotes::install_github("geocompr/geocompkg", force = T, repos = T) so opening as an issue:

Tweaking _book/index.html
Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘rstac’

It happened for:

• rstac
• Rsagacmd
• tidygeocoder
• gdalcubes
• whitebox
• openeo

After installing them, one-by-one and trying to build the book after each fresh install, I finally got it working. Do we need to update the dependencies in geocompkg?

[Robinlovelace]

I think the thing that unites all of these is that they are used in the book but with eval=FALSE. Not 100% sure. Thoughts @Nowosad ?

[Robinlovelace]

This is now the reason the build is failing I think. I'm going to add those packages to geocompkg.

bs4_book fails when any package mentioned in code chunks (even unevaluated ones) are missing. I tried to find a solution on how to disable it a few months ago, but I was unable to find anything...

[Robinlovelace]

Hmmm I guess we could mention them in chunks without {r}, surely that would not trigger the dependency? In any case this is the interim attempt at a fix: geocompx/geocompkg@9533c57

[Robinlovelace]

Plan to remove dependency on ows4R as it depends on rgdal and seems to be causing issues.

[Robinlovelace]

Not sure why it's complaining because the package is in geocompkg suggests: https://github.com/Robinlovelace/geocompr/runs/7161855940?check_suite_focus=true

[Robinlovelace]

These are in geocompkg Suggests so closing for now. We can re revisit later.
