[R-pkg-devel] Error uploading file on CRAN

[Jahajeeah, Havisha]

Dear CRAN team,



I trust you are well.



Referring to the following issue I had when running the greymodels 2.0
package:



An error has occurred!

Couldn't normalize path in `addResourcePath`, with arguments: `prefix` =
'AdminLTE-2.0.6'; `directoryPath` =
'D:/RCompile/CRANpkg/lib/4.2/shinydashboard/AdminLTE'



I  used the following line code to build a binary package.



devtools::build(binary = TRUE)



A zip file is generated.



I opened the zip file from *"Install packages from local files”* in R and
the package seems to work.



I also went through the CRAN Repository Policy (
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html).


Will a binary package resolve the above issue? If yes, can I submit a
binary package to CRAN?


I look forward to hearing from you.


Many thanks,

Havisha
