[R-pkg-devel] CRAN checks question

[Hadley Wickham]

I've also seen some problems with missing testthat on
r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64 - I'd say it's a temporary problem on the
CRAN end, and if your package is ok on win builder, you should be ok
to submit.

The error is detailed here (https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_FSA.html) and copied below.  The error is only for the "r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64" flavor and appears to be related to missing gdata and testthat packages.  I looked at both the gdata and testthat packages on CRAN and they have clean CRAN checks.  I looked at a handful of other packages that depend on gdata and testthat and they appear to have clean CRAN checks.  I checked the package on win-builder and it did not return any errors.  Any pointers?
