[R-pkg-devel] Cache in vignette not working when checking a package

[Jose Barrera]

Dear all,

I have an issue when checking a package that includes a vignette using
cache = TRUE in some chunks. The vignette is generated with knit from an
Rnw document. The issue is that cache works when building the vignette
locally but it seems not working when checking the package.

I have proceeded as follows:

1) R CMD build collin --resave-data
      * creating vignettes...  --->  4 minutes
2) R CMD check --as-cran collin_0.0.1.tar.gz
      * checking re-building of vignette outputs ...  --->  4 minutes
3) I install "collin_0.0.1.tar.gz" in my laptop
4) In an R session, I build the vignette "collin/vignettes/collin.Rnw". It
takes 4.7 minutes and the "cache" folder is created in "collin/vignettes/"
5) I remove all aux files in "collin/vignettes/" (now, the only extra item
is the "cache" folder)
6) I re-build the vignette in the R session and now it takes only 8
seconds, so the cache is working
7) Repeat 5)
8) Repeat 1) and 2) but it still takes 4 minutes so it seems like R CMD
build and R CMD check are ignoring the "cache" folder in
"collin/vignettes/".

I would be very grateful if you could provide some advice on how to fix the
problem.

Best,
