[R-pkg-devel] Whack-a-mole base::assign(".ptime", proc.time(), pos = "CheckExEnv")

[Mark Hogue]

Thank you very much Peter. Your advice helped me find the error. I had not
previously known where to find the package's -Ex.R file, and I didn't even
realize that this was a timeout error. (The -Ex.R file was in my working
directory, not the package directory.) One function did have some long
examples, but that function was never mentioned in the error, so it was
very confusing.

Cheers,

Mark
