[R-pkg-devel] compression of vignettes

[Joris Meys]

Dear Mark,

You rely on external packages like rcmdcheck and devtools, so if you insist on using those, you should contact the package authors.

The workflow as described in the manual :
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Checking-and-building-packages

is as follows :

R CMD build pkg --compact-vignettes
R CMD check pkg_x.y.z.tar.gz --as-cran

In a basic Travis script this can be used as:

script:
  - R CMD build . --compact-vignettes=gs+qpdf
  - R CMD check *tar.gz --as-cran

You find more information here : https://towardsdatascience.com/travis-ci-for-r-advanced-guide-719cb2d9e0e5

Cheers
Joris

Subject: [R-pkg-devel] compression of vignettes

I have been unsuccessful with all of the following attempts to have compression of dynamically generated vignettes during the build on travis-ci and within RStudio. Help is appreciated.

I have tried the following travis-ci YAML to have vignettes compressed.
script:
  - R -e 'r <- rcmdcheck::rcmdcheck(".", args = c('--no-manual'), build_args = c('--compact-vignettes=both'); devtools::test(); quit(save = "no", status = if (length(c(r$errors, r$warnings)) > 0) { 1 } else { 0 }, runLast = FALSE)'

script:
  - R -e 'r <- rcmdcheck::rcmdcheck(".", args = c('--no-manual', '--compact-vignettes=gs+qpdf'); devtools::test(); quit(save = "no", status = if (length(c(r$errors, r$warnings)) > 0) { 1 } else { 0 }, runLast = FALSE)'

script:
  - R -e 'r <- rcmdcheck::rcmdcheck(".", args = c('--no-manual', '--compact-vignettes="gs+qpdf"'); devtools::test(); quit(save = "no", status = if (length(c(r$errors, r$warnings)) > 0) { 1 } else { 0 }, runLast = FALSE)'


I have tried the following build arguments in RStudio
--as-cran --compact-vignettes=gs+qpdf
--as-cran --compact-vignettes=both
