[R-pkg-team] New test depends missing: r-cran-modeldata [Was: Bug#941807: r-cran-recipes: autopktest depends on r-cran-rsample which doesn't exist]

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Dylan,

Paul was not happy about my upload with test-depends in new.  This
was healed automatically but since your upload of version 0.1.8 a
new test-depends is missing:

...
Loading required namespace: xml2
Failed with error:  'there is no package called 'xml2''
-- 1. Error: (unknown) (@test_bagimpute.R#8)  ----------------------------------
there is no package called 'modeldata'
Backtrace:
 1. base::library(modeldata)

-- 2. Error: (unknown) (@test_basics.R#7)  -------------------------------------
there is no package called 'modeldata'
Backtrace:
 1. base::library(modeldata)
...


I think its better to exclude the affected tests until the package
is available.

Kind regards

      Andreas.

Hi Paul,

I took the freedomto upload a few r-cran-* packages with new
test-depends which are only in new.  In this case it is:

  https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/r-cran-rsample_0.0.5-1.html

Its probably not the best idea for you and those who are watching test
results closely.  However, I would have either needed to patch the tests
to exclude the new dependency or deactivate it just to activate it later
again.  So I took the freedom to let those packages temporarily fail the
tests until the new package is accepted (which to my experience went
relatively fast with r-cran-* packages).

I hope you do not consider this procedure as a bad idea.  I always
tested the test suite with the package in new and can confirm that
this bug will close automatically.

Kind regards and thanks a lot for your effort about autopkgtest

     Andreas.
