Hi Maintainer

Sometime around 2024-02-16, r-cran-dplyr's autopkgtest regressed in
testing [1].  I've copied what I hope is the relevant part of the log
below.

Graham

I have opened an issue upstream: https://github.com/tidyverse/dplyr/issues/7099

Hello,

we have a package, r-cran-dplyr, that runs the upstream test suite as
part of its autopkgtests.  Unfortunately it fails when it tries to set
the en_US locale to test support of non-UTF locales; maybe it is not
available in the default environment of debci?  Do people know a way to
make en_US available in that context?

https://ci.debian.net/packages/r/r-cran-dplyr/unstable/amd64/53464906/

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1072630

More details follow.

On line 325 of the package's `tests/testthat/test-arrange.R` there is:

    skip_if_not(has_collate_locale("en_US"), message = "Can't use 'en_US' locale")

This leads to the emission of the warning "Can't use 'en_US' locale",
which causes autopkgtest to fail.

I am aware of two possible solutions that I would like to avoid:

 1) Patch the test suite so that it does not run that test.
 2) Allow autopkgtest to ignore warnings.

Both of them equate to put dust in the corner and run only the tests
that are the least likely to fail, which puts into question why we would
run upstream tests at all.

So if you know a good way to enable debci to provide the needed locale
to debci, please let me know.

Have a nice day,

Charles

Hi,

I believe that the thread starting with
https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/YqGFE7eF7wUX9LM7@torres.zugschlus.de
was for tests running during packaging, but the same tricks can be used
for autopkgtests too.

I've done the following in a similar situation:

    Test-Command: mkdir -p tests/.locale &&
     localedef -c -i en_US -f UTF-8 tests/.locale/en_US.utf8 &&
     env LOCPATH="$(pwd)/tests/.locale" test_command
    Depends: locales, […]

Or just ‘Depends: locales-all’ but that'll lead to slightly longer
running tests.

Cheers,

Hi all,

sorry for the dplyr-related mass removal from Testing.

r-cran-dplyr is marked for autoremoval on December 12 and I did not
expect nor pay attention that its dependencies would be reomved 5 days
before…

I have uploaded r-cran-dplyr_1.1.4-3_source.changes that disables the
test suite.

Have a nice week-end,

Charles
