Yesterday I uploaded a new version of the pathological package to CRAN. It was initially accepted but today I got a message saying that some of the tests for the decompose_path function are failing under Windows.
I've tested the package on a local Windows 10 machine with R-3.3.0 and R-devel, and in Win 7 and Win 8 compatibility modes, and on Windows Server 2012 via AppVeyor. In all cases, all the tests pass. I tried the CRAN win builder service today, and again, all tests pass. http://win-builder.r-project.org/0ZrX4I75nvzM/examples_and_tests/tests_i386/testthat.Rout http://win-builder.r-project.org/0ZrX4I75nvzM/examples_and_tests/tests_x64/testthat.Rout The failure portion of the output I got from Uwe is as follows: * checking tests ... ERROR Running the tests in 'tests/testthat.R' failed. Last 13 lines of output: 1. Failure: decompose_path handles paths with no directory and a single extension in the filename.

Since this isn't hugely informative as to the problem, I'd like general advice on how I can diagnose a failing test when I can't reproduce it. It would also be useful if anyone can run R CMD check and see if they find test failures. The CRAN release is here (the problematic version is 0.0-8): https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pathological and the github version is currently in the same state, available here: https://github.com/richierocks/pathological -- Regards, Richie Learning R 4dpiecharts.com ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
