vdiffr has graphics API version mismatch with current R
jranke opened this issue · comments
Not sure if I analysed the situation correctly, but it seems that r-cran-vdiffr in r2u for jammy needs a rebuild, as it fails to work with R 4.3.1:
https://app.travis-ci.com/github/jranke/mkin/builds/265560310
You can see that R 4.3.1-4 is installed on line 695:
https://app.travis-ci.com/github/jranke/mkin/builds/265560310#L695
and the following lines illustrate (I think) that vdiffr comes from r2u:
https://app.travis-ci.com/github/jranke/mkin/builds/265560310#L1711
https://app.travis-ci.com/github/jranke/mkin/builds/265560310#L1793
I am a bit confused, because in the log, the package is retrieved after it has been set up. Presumably just a matter of output buffering.
Am I correct to assume that a rebuild of vdiffr in r2u would fix this?
Thankful for all of these amazing tools, as always,
Johannes
Flim! I caught a good handful of these when R 4.3.1 came out and caused 'Graphics API version mismatch' for binaries produced under R 4.2.*. I will make sure I rebuild vdiffr too in today's update. I mentioned to Kurt that the communication from R Core about these graphics API changes (for three R releases in a row) is not ideal. Oh well.
Thanks for the heads-up, will fix later today.
"Well actually" that package was just rebuilt yesterday (and it hence a fresh bug). Strange. Anyway, I will force a rebuild.
We should be good now:
