@blernermhc Hi! Have you heard back from anyone on the data provenance team (because I think you emailed someone regarding this issue)? I tried a bunch of different things to R-CMD-check.yaml, but somehow none of them worked.

Hi Nayeon,

Sorry for being so slow in responding. It has taken a while to wind down the semester and get back to doing research. I don't think I ever actually sent any email. I would love to take what you have done and continue working on it, but I do not want to merge this into the master branch. It would be better to be able to push this to a new branch. Are you able to do that?

Hi Nayeon,

I figured out how to do this, at least it worked for the provTraceR package, which I believe faced the same issues. Try this:

In the setup-r section, add:
extra-repositories: https://end-to-end-provenance.github.io/drat/

Remove from the r-setup-dependencies section:
package=rdt?ignore, package=rdtLite?ignore

Remove from the check-r-packages section:
R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS: false

I have the following in the check-r-packages section. It was created with the usethis command:
upload-snapshots: true

I would suggest trying it with those changes. I also ran into a problem that it could not build the XML package. I don't know if that will be an issue for provDebugR, but if it is, change the extra-packages line to this:
extra-packages: any::rcmdcheck, any::XML

@blernermhc Hi! No need to be sorry. I hope you've been resting well. I actually didn't expect that you'd respond during the summer. Yes I can definitely close this PR and push the changes into a new branch.

Before opening a new branch, I'll first try doing what you suggested and let you know how it goes.

Thank you so much!
Nayeon
