[R-pkg-devel] File name error

[Blume Christine]

Hi Cathy,

I also had troubles with debian (Fedora only gave warnings) and no problems with other systems. Mine was related to me writing a file (or rather trying to write) in a working directory other than tempdir (can be retrieved by tempdir()). I now write it to tempdir and then set the old working directory again at the end of the example. Perhaps that is somehow helpful for your case too?

I can highly recommend to test your tar.gz file with the check() function of the rhub package. You can for example run check("pathtoyourpackage", platform = "debian-gcc-devel") or 
check_for_cran("pathtoyourpackage", platform = "debian-gcc-devel"), i.e. test your package on debian without troubles.

Best,
Christine

Betreff: [R-pkg-devel] File name error

I am getting the following error from the auto-checks when trying to submit a package to CRAN:
r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc
<https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_flavors.html#r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc>
3.0.0.2 3.63 56.71 60.34 ERROR
<https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc/CATkit-00check.html>

Error in pdf(file = fileName4, width = 8, height = 10) :
  cannot open file
'/home/hornik/tmp/R.check/r-devel-gcc/Work/build/Packages/CATkit/extdata/activity-stress-c57-2-part.txt--20Dec2017--03-51-46CAToutput.pdf'

Since this works for ALL other flavors, I am assuming it may be some file name restrictions unique to debian-gcc???  I can't think what else would cause it to fail only in the OS.

debian doesn't like "--"?
