R-CMD-check GitHub Actions 工作流程在警告/注释上失败

Question

In the repository of my R package, I set a GitHub Actions workflow for the R CMD check command, following the examples shown in the usethis package documentation (with the usethis::use_github_actions() command).
I noticed that my workflow is marked as Fail even if only warnings and notes are found (ie no errors).

Is there a way to mark runs without errors as a Pass ? Like a flag in the .github/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml file

The following is a part of my current .yaml file. I tried adding the R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS: true line but the change was uneffective.

name: R-CMD-check

jobs:
  R-CMD-check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS: true
      GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      R_KEEP_PKG_SOURCE: yes
    steps:
      ...

Answer 1

I realized the problem was in the actual part of the file calling the rcmdcheck() function, which is automatically created and uses an already implemented workflow, check-r-package .

Therefore, the problem is solved by modifying the .github/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml file as follows:

      - uses: r-lib/actions/check-r-package@v1
        with:
          error-on: '"error"'

In this way, we can set the arguments to the rcmdcheck::rcmdcheck(...) command which is internally run by r-lib/actions/check-r-package@v1 . Under with , you can set the arguments of rcmdcheck(...) as you wish, and you can modify the internal call to the function.

Anyway, at this link https://github.com/r-lib/actions you can find the arguments/flags you can use in the workflows already implemented, also in the workflows to install the dependencies ecc.
