R devel - Sep 2017 - R-devel r73293 and the testthat package

Hello,


Windows R-devel no longer lets me use testthat even though the CRAN checks are
pretty much clean. I have copied my session output below.

Well, there us a reason for the nickname of R-devel:

Re-stabilizing after the ALTREP updates took longer than expected, so some
packages may not be updated yet. I suspect you should just wait and see if it
comes around by itself.

There was a recent change in R-devel that means all packages with 
compiled code need to be re-installed from source.  Apparently the 
mirror you're using hasn't done that yet.  (Binary packages, i.e. .zip 
files, are essentially copies of installed packages.)

So you may be able to get it using

install.packages("testthat", type = "source")

if you have the tools installed.  Otherwise, you'll just need to wait 
until the new version shows up on your mirror.
