I tried more gentle suggestions in the past, it didn't work. For years. And yes, it REALLY annoys me.

There are three different unit test frameworks in R, plus the tests/ directory. Typically, R CMD check covers all of them for you. I still recommend you use that. As that is what it is built for. Tests may use Depends: and Suggests: from the DESCRIPTION file so just by building you are NOT guaranteed testability.

Personally, after how bad they were (using past tense here hoping that has changed) I may not be that likely to use your packages ... Anyway, useR is about to start so I stop my participation in this non-Bug report now.
