Hi, Duncan et al.:
Thanks again. I removed fda from "suggests" and added it to
"imports" in DESCRIPTION. I also added "importFrom('fda', 'CRAN')" to
NAMESPACE. Sadly, the result was the same: It passed "R CMD check" on
Windows, ubuntu, and my local Mac but not macOS on GitHub Action.
How do you suggest I proceed from here?
You may recall that I started using "if(fda::CRAN())" as a way to
keep checks for routine testing that take too much time on CRAN. I've
looked at Wickham's "skip_on_cran" but concluded, perhaps incorrectly,
that it was not self contained and required more work to use than
"if(fda::CRAN())". If I'm incorrect in that assessment, I will happily
accept instructions on how to convert "if(fda::CRAN())" to use
"skip_on_cran".
Again, I really appreciate the help.

I don't see where the connection is, but it's almost certainly coming in
through your unconditional use of "fda::CRAN()". Since "fda" is not a
hard requirement, this should be conditional on having it installed.

Hi, Duncan et al.:
I inserted "the lines from the rgl workflow to work around the
XQuartz issues" that Duncan provided after "env" in TWO places in
R-CMD-check.yaml with the same result: GitHub Action worked fine on
Windows and ubuntu (both release and devel) but failed on macOS
complaining, "there is no package called 'ks'".
HOWEVER, I can NOT see how I even ask for ks. The error message
says:
processing the following file failed: 'sos.Rnw'
Error: Error: Vignette re-building failed.
Execution halted
Error: Error in proc$get_built_file() : Build process failed
Calls: <Anonymous> ... build_package -> with_envvar -> force ->
<Anonymous>
Execution halted
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
I can NOT find it with "grep 'ks' sos.Rnw". It's NOT in
DESCRIPTION
nor NAMESPACE.
I do NOT see how I am even asking for it.
PROPOSED NEXT STEP: Do as outlined in
"https://github.com/ThinkR-open/prepare-for-cran"; and submit to CRAN
with a note on this problem in cran-comments.md if the package passes
all other tests.
Other suggestions?
Thanks again, Duncan.

For ks, if you look here:
https://github.com/sbgraves237/sos/runs/2650960959?check_suite_focus=true
in the "Install Dependencies" section, you'll see these errors:

so the problem is really with plot3D, and indirectly with rgl and tcltk.
I'm familiar with problems like that! Here are the lines from the rgl
workflow to work around the XQuartz issues:
env:
R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS: true
_R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_: false
RSPM: ${{ matrix.config.rspm }}
GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
RGL_USE_NULL: true
The last line might be enough for you, but I think the 2nd line
_R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_: false
may be more important: you use ks, it imports plot3D, plot3D imports
misc3d, but it only suggests rgl and tkrplot: so that would let ks load
without XQuartz support.

Hi, Duncan et al.:
Thanks again to Duncan. Your suggestions worked for the LaTeX
problem, though it required multiple iterations, adding a total of 7
different "tinytex::parse_install" clauses to overcome other LaTeX and
pdfTeX errors.
However, macOS still says, "there is no package called 'ks'",
even
though I added 'install.packages("ks")' as you suggested -- to three
different places, all without solving the problem. I posted this
question to
"https://community.rstudio.com/new-topic?category=Package%20development&tags=github-actions";,
as suggested in line 2 of "~/.github/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml". See:

This page
https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/install-latex-pkgs.html
suggests that executing this in R should fix the tikz issue:
tinytex::parse_install(
text = "! LaTeX Error: File `tikz.sty' not found."
)
The "ks" message looks like a missing R package rather than a missing
LaTeX package, so running install.packages("ks") would fix it.
So the only question is how to do these things in a Github action. I
don't know if there's a pre-made recipe for this, but this one
should do
it:
- name: Install tikz.tex and ks
run: |
install.packages(c('tinytex', 'ks')) # Maybe tinytex is
already there?
tinytex::parse_install(
text = "! LaTeX Error: File `tikz.sty' not found."
)
shell: Rscript {0}

Duncan suggested in three slightly different places. That fixed the
problems with missing tex and pdflatex, but exposed two new problems:
On Windows and ubuntu (both release and devel) I now get:
LaTeX Error: File `tikz.sty' not found.
On macOS, I got a different error:
there is no package called 'ks'
I added "ks" to "suggests" in DESCRIPTON but still got "no
package
called 'ks'. And I studied README in
https://github.com/r-lib/actions,
and I did some other searches without figuring out how to fix
"`tikz.sty' not found."
For more details, see:

Suggestions?
Thanks,

Hello:
What do you suggest I do to enable GitHub Action to
process
"sos.Rnw"
properly?
The development version of my "sos" package passes "R CMD
check" on
my Mac but fails in all four platforms under GitHub Action on
https://github.com/sbgraves237/sos
The error messages on macOS and Ubuntu release and
devel all
seems
the same:
* Error: processing vignette 'sos.Rnw' failed with
diagnostics:
Running 'texi2dvi' on 'sos.tex' failed. Messages: You don't have a
working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in your PATH, and
texi2dvi
cannot proceed without one.
The error message under Windows seemed crudely similar but
different:
* Error: processing vignette 'sos.Rnw' failed with
diagnostics:
pdflatex is not available
What do you suggest?
The virtual machines that run Github actions have lots of tools
installed, but apparently not LaTeX. So you need to figure out the
"step" to install it. I'm not currently using Rnw with Github
actions,
but by looking at the README for
https://github.com/r-lib/actions, I'm
pretty sure all you need is to add
- uses: r-lib/actions/setup-tinytex@v1
somewhere after
- uses: actions/checkout@master
