encoding warning confusion with test()

[plantarum]

I'm not using encoding directives anywhere in my package, either in DESCRIPTION, .Rd files or vignettes. However, when I run my tests (via devtools::test), I get the warning:

Warning message:
encoding is deprecated; all files now assumed to be UTF-8

According to the R Extensions Manual, Encoding isn't actually deprecated, and even if it were I'm not using it. What is the intention of this warning? Have I done something that needs attention?

This is actually referring to the encoding = parameter to testthat::test_dir(), rather than the Encoding: field in the DESCRIPTION file. We should remove the encoding argument at

devtools/R/test.r

Line 70 in ab568e9

encoding = pkg$encoding %||% "unknown"

But as workaround you should be able to add Encoding: UTF-8 to your DESCRIPTION and that should make this warning go away.
