Shivaram Venkataraman commented on SPARK-18190: ----------------------------------------------- Yeah using a fixed version sounds good to me. > Fix R version to not the latest in AppVeyor > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-18190 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18190 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build, SparkR > Reporter: Hyukjin Kwon > > Currently, Spark supports the test on Windows via AppVeyor but not it seems > failing to download R 3.3.1 after R 3.3.2 is released. > It downloads given R version after checking if that is the latest or not via > http://rversions.r-pkg.org/r-release because the URL. > For example, the latest one has the URL as below: > https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/R-3.3.1-win.exe > and the old one has the URL as below. > https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/3.3.0/R-3.3.0-win.exe > The problem is, it seems the versions of R on Windows are not always synced > with the latest versions. > Please check https://cloud.r-project.org > So, currently, AppVeyor tries to find > https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/3.3.1/R-3.3.1-win.exe (which > is the URL for old versions) as 3.3.2 is released but does not exist because > it seems R 3.3.2 for Windows is not there. > It seems safer to lower the version as SparkR supports 3.1+ if I remember > correctly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
