It seems that some of your dependencies which use compiled code
manage to crash the R process on CRAN Mac machines. Since testthat
normally hides most output from you and it doesn't get a chance to
produce useful output on R process crash, it's hard to determine where
the crash occurs, especially with testthat's backtrace being so long.

Try submitting the package to
<https://mac.r-project.org/macbuilder/submit.html>: that should give
you the full backtrace, at least.

If the *.Rout files from the Mac builder don't pinpoint the culprit, try
passing different reporter= arguments to test_check() and see if any of
them result in verbose logs that show every test being run.
Alternatively, switch some of your tests to the classic R tests, which
produce a verbose .Rout file for every tests/*.R file [*].
