CI builds keep failing

[lorenzwalthert]

Since I added pkgload, all builds keep failing. Also see #43. You can see the history here. Travis builds don't fail. I was wondering why. The error is also not always the same. It is either
after trying to install r-pkgs/callr (which should actually be r-lib/callr) or r-pkgs/pkgbuild. Maybe it is due to the wrongly specified dependencies in pkgload with r-ib / r-pkgs, so I created two PRs for
pkgbuild and pkgload to fix the DESCRIPTION file. It might be unrelated though since Travis does not fail.

[krlmlr]

Thanks. The r-pkgs queries should be forwarded to r-lib, but it's good to have it corrected. Looking into AppVeyor failures.

[krlmlr]

Seems we need to wait for r-lib/remotes#41.

[lorenzwalthert]

Now we even have failing travis builds. Seems related to tic, as it says devtools is missing for deployment.

[krlmlr]

Yes, we need to replace devtools with pkgload in the README.Rmd file and also fix the code, because it's rendered for tags.

[lorenzwalthert]

The appveyor build keeps failing, this time due to the remote dependencyutf8. Isn't tic installing the remote dependencies?

[lorenzwalthert]

travis also keeps failing, probably also a tic issue.

[krlmlr]

I fixed the build to create the pkgdown only for tags, and fixed tic to install the package in a temporary library before building the pkgdown. Let's see.

[krlmlr]

I've also looked into fixing AppVeyor.

[lorenzwalthert]

Cool, now it seems all builds pass and the badges are correct. Minus one issue. Thanks @krlmlr 😊

[krlmlr]

Yeah, but we need to keep an eye on these tests, because they seem to be too forgiving now.

[lorenzwalthert]

We currently have failing travis builds due to a vignette build error

Error in loadVignetteBuilder(vigns$pkgdir) :
vignette builder 'knitr' not found
Calls: -> loadVignetteBuilder

Same problem occurs in my fork.

A failing travis build probably due to wrong R internals version. It was suggested to simply empty the cache for pre-installed packages.

@krlmlr any ideas why these, in particular the first problem, occur? Also, can you grant me admin rights to the appveyor CI?

[krlmlr]

Can you try removing the cache setting in appveyor.yml? I'm not sure how to grant you admin access, now the package is part of the r-lib organization.

[lorenzwalthert]

Ok, did so and pushed to my fork so we can try there before pushing to upstream.

[lorenzwalthert]

Any idea about the first problem? Should I try an older version of tic?

[krlmlr]

Not sure. Can you adapt tic.R to show an info about installed packages in the before_script stage?

[lorenzwalthert]

I added code to manually install knitr in the before_install: step but it did not help.

[krlmlr]

Very strange, knitr seems to be installed indeed. No idea, perhaps this issue will vanish if we wait a few days?

[lorenzwalthert]

Ok. Just re-triggered the build and it's now only failing for R versions before current release.

[lorenzwalthert]

Ok, appveyor removing the cache worked. 😊 Will try the same with travis.

[krlmlr]

Seeing this in dplyr now. Debugging the job on Travis to see what's going on.

[krlmlr]

@gaborcsardi: This looks like an rcmdcheck problem: On R 3.3 (tested in a Travis session) and earlier (not yet tested), rcmdcheck::rcmdcheck() can't find the vignette builder even though it's installed. Does this ring a bell?

Working on replicating the problem locally.

[gaborcsardi]

rcmdcheck just calls R CMD check, so I am not sure why this should happen. It does juggle with environment variables, etc. so I am not saying it is impossible.

[krlmlr]

Can't replicate locally. Noticed that Travis CI has R_LIBS_USER set to the path for cached packages, and R 3.3 puts this path last in .libPaths().

I'll resume debugging in Travis CI tomorrow.

[lorenzwalthert]

👍 thanks.

[lorenzwalthert]

Yet another issue: https://travis-ci.org/r-lib/styler/jobs/383405658#L5167

[lorenzwalthert]

Closed for now with #407.

[lorenzwalthert]

It seems as there is a new error on travis when trying to install a package is not available for a certain R version.

Error: (converted from warning) package ‘DiagrammeR’ is not available (for R version 3.1.3)

How should we handle this? @krlmlr any experience from tibble or dplyr with it?
