It ultimately said, "Status: OK", so maybe I shouldn't worry about it. It's available at: https://github.com/sbgraves237/Ecfun This passed all 4 GitHub Actions, so maybe I should not worry about this. Comments? Thanks, Spencer GravesIt is rather presumptuous of me to comment, but for what it's worth I personally would not ignore such a warning. There is (it seems to me) always a possibility that the warning is symptomatic of a problem that could at some stage whip around and bite you on the arse. I would try to find out why the directory "vign_test" (unexpectedly?) exists. Where does it come from? Who/what created it? If its possible existence is "understandable" perhaps you should test for its existence (using file.exists()?) and if it does indeed exist, don't try to create it. Feel free to ignore me (and I'll go away! :-) ).
I agree the warning shouldn't be ignored, but I believe it was created by R CMD check, not by Spencer directly. So the real question is: why was it already there?
