Visual tests fails on GitHub Actions (macOS)

(Sorry, I'm not sure whether I should report this here or r-lib/actions...)

I see this error on runs-on: macOS-latest, which is added usethis::use_github_actions():

I'm facing the same problem today. Were you able to find a resolution for this issue?

You need to install XQuarz, brew cask install xquartz will do this on GitHub Actions.

Googling 'Library not loaded: /opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib' will lead you to this conclusion pretty quickly.

Also the best place for these workflow related issues is on the RStudio community site with the 'github-actions' tag.

Wow, thanks!!!

Aw, sorry.... Last time I tried, my google-fu is not enough to reach me to that info. I'll use RStudio community next time!
