[R-pkg-devel] Question about examples/tests run-time

[Lluís Revilla]

Dear Mallory,

It would help a little bit if we know the package and we can check the
examples and code.
Perhaps it can help this little explanation of when to use donttest,
dontrun and other options:
https://contributor.r-project.org/cran-cookbook/general_issues.html#structuring-of-examples
If it is still too long I would leave the representative example for a
vignette or demo (or an article if you use pkgdown) and show how to use the
different parameters of your functions in the examples.

Best,
