[R-pkg-devel] recreating pretest Error in debian platform

Dear All,

I am seeking direction on how to successfully recreate an CRAN check error (see email below) for the debian gcc platform (see attached log). I'm pretty confident that there is still an error associated with my code  calling if() with a vector of length 2 or more. However, the code is long and as there are likely multiple incidences, I really want to be able to recreate this error myself so I do not waste CRAN time resubmitting each time I fix one incidence.

I have tried multiple approaches to recreate this error without success. These include:
1) Running rhub::check while specifying environmental variables suggested by Brian Ripley ('_R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_CONDITION'="package:_R_CHECK_PACKAGE_NAME_,abort,verbose") on the platform "debian-gcc-devel". Check proceeds with no errors but I suspect the environmental variables are not being correctly specified (see https://github.com/r-hub/rhub/issues/174)

2) Running devtools::check() in Rstudio 1.0.143. But as I am running on windows, the code compiles OK.
My system:

platform       x86_64-w64-mingw32
arch           x86_64
os             mingw32
system         x86_64, mingw32
status         Under development (unstable)
major          3
minor          6.0
year           2018
month          10
day            15
svn rev        75443
language       R
version.string R Under development (unstable) (2018-10-15 r75443)
nickname       Unsuffered Consequences

3) I have set up a GitHub profile and repository for the current code of my package FlexParamCurve v 1.5-5 (https://github.com/sao10/FlexParamCurve1.5-5). I have then used Travis to build and check it (https://travis-ci.org/sao10/FlexParamCurve1.5-5/jobs/457270859) but, I am pretty certain that my environmental variables are not transferring. I tried setting them as Global Environmental Variables and also in my .travis.yml file.  My config was:

{
  "os": "linux",
  "dist": "trusty",
  "sudo": false,
  "cache": "packages",
  "group": "stable",
  "language": "r",
  "global_env": "_R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_CONDITION = \"package:_R_CHECK_PACKAGE_NAME_,abort,verbose\" R_C_BOUNDS_CHECK = yes _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_ = false"
}


and my .travis.yml file was:

language: R
cache: packages
sudo: false
env:
    global:
    - _R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_CONDITION = "package:_R_CHECK_PACKAGE_NAME_,abort,verbose"
    - R_C_BOUNDS_CHECK = yes
    - _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_ = false


One possibility I have yet to explore is potentially running debian from a flash drive but I'm not sure whether my tool chains would need to change and it seems a major undertaking. Currently my tool chain looks like this:

C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Rtools\mingw_64\bin;C:\Strawberry\c\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin; H:\R\R-devel\bin\x64;C:\Strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\Strawberry;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AGL;C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\

and I am running
Rtools version 3.5.0.4
MiKTeX 2.9

R Under development (unstable) (2018-10-15 r75443)

Thank you for any direction you may be able to offer.

Steve.
