Important environment variabless

• DEV_PKG_TARBALL - the development package we are running reverse dependency checks for
• CHECK_PKG_LIST - the package(s) we are checking against
• AWS_BATCH_JOB_ARRAY_INDEX - the AWS environment variable set by the array job
• AWS_REGION - The AWS region
• OUTPUT_S3_PATH - The output S3 path

Local usage

Get a dev version of a package and build a tarball for it

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tidyverse/glue.git /tmp/glue
R CMD build /tmp/glue .

generate the list of reverse dependencies for a given package and save it to a file (here pkgs)

Rscript -e 'writeLines(tools::package_dependencies("glue", reverse = TRUE)[[1]], "pkgs")'

Then run the first few 5 jobs to test

AWS_BATCH_JOB_ARRAY_INDEX=0
while [ $AWS_BATCH_JOB_ARRAY_INDEX -le 4 ]
do
  docker run -v $PWD:/tmp/workdir -e DEV_PKG_TARBALL=glue_1.3.1.tar.gz -e CHECK_PKG_LIST=pkgs -e CHECK_ARGS= -e AWS_BATCH_JOB_ARRAY_INDEX=$AWS_BATCH_JOB_ARRAY_INDEX r_cmd_check
  AWS_BATCH_JOB_ARRAY_INDEX=$((AWS_BATCH_JOB_ARRAY_INDEX + 1))
done
