Dear all, Thanks for the feedback.
@Uwe I'll have a look at winbuilder. Can it handle non-CRAN dependencies? E.g. packages which are available on github or bitbucket? I was rather looking for something which can run on my local machine. That would give me faster feedback than a remote system. My current setup is development on Win 32-bit and continuous integration on Linux 64-bit. @Duncan I was hoping for something as easy to use as devtools::test() I ended by creating test_both() Feedback on the function is welcome. test_both <- function(path = "."){ path <- normalizePath(".", winslash = "/") commands <- paste0( Sys.getenv("R_HOME"), "/bin/", c("i386/", "x64/"), "Rscript.exe -e devtools::test('", path, "')" ) for (command in commands) { system(command) } } @Kasper Thanks for the suggestions. I tried both to use signif() and sprintf("%f"), but both fail for time to time. My current solutions is based on sprintf("%a"). num_32_64() converts numerics into a string which is identical on both architecture. get_sha1() calculates the SHA1 for different kinds of objects.
