[R-pkg-devel] Error during automatic check for vignette re-building - The magick package is required to crop

[Pablo Fonseca]

Dear all,

Currently I am trying to update my package (GALLO) with some small edits in the code. However, the package is not passing in the automatic check. I am getting only two warnings:

The first one is a warning related with the maintainer email (my email in the case), which is correct. I really think that this is not the cause of the package failure during the automatic checking.

The second warning is a problem during the vignette rebuilding. The warning is "The magick package is required to crop". In my first submission I didn't experience this error. In the recent submissions for updates, I included the magick package as a dependency of the package. However, this didn't fixed the issue. Additionally, I can't reproduce the errors in my machines, even when running R CMD check --as-cran. The error seems to be related with the lines 465-495 from the vignette. I double checked the code and introduced some small changes (such as reducing the figure dimensions).

Have ever someone faced a similar issue? However, it seems ineffective. Is there any possibility to be a false negative?

I am sending bellow the links for the check logs.

package GALLO_1.0.tar.gz does not pass the incoming checks automatically, please see the following pre-tests:
