Install packages listed in "Enhances"
hofnerb opened this issue · comments
Hi,
Can one tell the script to automatically also install packages listed in Enhances? Currently, install_deps(..., dependencies = TRUE), which is used in the travis-ci script, only installs packages from Depends, Imports, LinkingTo and Suggests but does not install Enhances.
One could doe this by specifying install_deps(..., dependencies = "Enhances"), but this command would end up in only installing packages that are enhanced. I am asking this as I have written two packages that enhance other packages and use these packages (conditionally) in their examples and test sections and I would love to run the checks on these as well.
Can I simply put a line such as
Rscript -e 'library("devtools"); install_deps(dependencies = "Enhances")'
in my .travis.yml file? And where would I need to put this?
Perhaps related to this question: Can I require the script to install packages from http://R-forge.R-project.org?
I figured out that I can simply put
- Rscript -e 'library("devtools"); library(methods); options(repos=c(CRAN="http://cran.rstudio.com")); install_deps(dependencies = "Enhances")'
in the install: section in my .travis.yml, just after
- ./travis-tool.sh install_deps
to load the Enhances. Sorry that I opened this issue. Perhaps it helps someone in the future.
no problem at all -- feel free to add it to the wiki, either in the FAQ or in the recipes?
