Make tests accessible on installed package about cdms.products

[dannyparsons]

The suggestion in the link above is not compatible with testthat and devtools which requires tests to be in a specific location.

One way to achieve this is here https://stackoverflow.com/a/31382772/6424231

It requires building the package from source with specific options:

devtools::build(binary=TRUE, args=c("--preclean", "--install-tests"))

The install the package binary file which is created e.g.

install.packages("cdms.products_0.0.0.9000.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")

Then you can run the tests using testthat:

testthat::test_package("cdms.products")

@lloyddewit Attached is a binary file for the package. Could you check you can install it and run the tests with the code above?

I'm looking into how you could do the build step directly from GitHub without needing the package source. In the meantime, try the file below.

cdms.products_0.0.0.9000.zip

@dannyparsons I downloaded the zip file.
I tried to install the zip file using the R command line in my VS Code terminal window.
I got an error:

This makes sense because my development environment is WSL Ubuntu, and the binary is for Windows.

So I opened RStudio in Windows and executed the R commands in my Windows R environment.

install.packages("C:/Users/steph/OneDrive/Desktop/FirefoxDownloads/cdms.products_0.0.0.9000.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")
testthat::test_package("cdms.products")

All tests passed.

So if we want to run testthat::test_package("cdms.products") as part of the Python layer testing, then we'll need to create a Linux binary, or build from sources.

Thanks for checking this. I'll check how to do something similar that will work on Linux.
