R devel - Jul 2013 - tests conditioned on CRAN?

Hello:


       What is the recommended procedure for skipping long tests in "R 
CMD check --as-cran"?


       Some time ago, after a discussion on this list, I added the 
following function to the fda package:


CRAN <- function (x = "_R_CHECK_TIMINGS_") {
     x. <- Sys.getenv(x)
     nchar(as.character(x.)) > 0
}


       However, it does not seem to be working with R 3.0.1.  I know 
this, because the time to compute the examples in findFn.Rd in the sos 
package did not drop after I wrapped all the examples in the following:


if(!CRAN()){

...

}


       Thanks,
       Spencer

"On CRAN servers" or ""R CMD check --as-cran"?  I
assume you mean the
former.  The way I do it is "the other way around", i.e. to condition
on running locally or not such that the default is not to run or to
run a smaller test case:

if (Sys.getenv("_R_CHECK_FULL_") == "") {
  # Default/no test
} else {
  # Full test
}

Note, _R_CHECK_FULL_ is inspired by the other _R_CHECK_*_ flags, but
it's not an official one.  Since the CRAN servers don't define
_R_CHECK_FULL_, you can be fairly sure this works as you want.  Making
assumptions on which flags CRAN use at any time/in the future is a
much harder task.
