GH Action dependency issues -> nloptr, rcmdcheck

[florianhartig]

Since a few weeks, there are dependency issues in GH Actions, similar to the old Travis CI problem, #166

Under windows the issue is

and under Linux, R-dev, there is another issue:

ERROR: dependency ‘curl’ is not available for package ‘rcmdcheck’

which then causes

Run rcmdcheck::rcmdcheck("DHARMa", args = c("--no-multiarch", "--no-manual"), error_on = "warning", check_dir = "check")
Error: Error in loadNamespace(x) : there is no package called ‘rcmdcheck’

[florianhartig]

For some reason the Win issue has disappeared, rmdcheck issue remaining

[florianhartig]

OK, the latest issue seems to be the RStudio package manager, which causes linux builds to fail ...

Issue persists in Ubuntu 20.04

Error: Error in loadNamespace(x) : there is no package called ‘rcmdcheck’

https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstan/issues/1037#issuecomment-928049885 suggests to install libcurl-devel

[florianhartig]

No real solution, I'll just leave this involved for the moment and check devel on Windows.

I ran into the same issue in one of my repos and this thread helped me pin down the problem - Thanks!

FWIW - I managed to fix it by adding

      - name: install libcurl-devel on linux
        if: runner.os == 'Linux'
        run: sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev

to my R-CMD-check.yaml (between the block for installing system dependencies, and the one installing R pkg dependencies)

[florianhartig]

Thanks for the info, much appreciated! I also received another tip, which I have currently here https://github.com/florianhartig/DHARMa/pull/326 - should give this another go to be able to test dev on all OS, so I'll re-open!

[florianhartig]

So, currently this is not a problem any more, i.e. Ubuntu devel runs without modifications, so I will close this
