Issue installing autoxgboost

[Cdk29]

Hi,
I was trying to install the following package from github : https://github.com/ja-thomas/autoxgboost

It is not a CRAN package, but the build does not move so much. Anyway I run into the following problem :

devtools::install_github("ja-thomas/autoxgboost", dependencies = TRUE)

Installing 11 packages: digest, R6, waldo, testthat, generics, data.table, RcppArmadillo, cmaes, DiceKriging, mlrCPO, mlrMBO

Installing packages into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

Error: Failed to install 'autoxgboost' from GitHub:
(converted from warning) installation of package ‘R6’ had non-zero exit status
Traceback:

1. devtools::install_github("ja-thomas/autoxgboost", dependencies = TRUE)
2. pkgbuild::with_build_tools({
   . ellipsis::check_dots_used(action = getOption("devtools.ellipsis_action",
   . rlang::warn))
   . {
   . remotes <- lapply(repo, github_remote, ref = ref, subdir = subdir,
   . auth_token = auth_token, host = host)
   . install_remotes(remotes, auth_token = auth_token, host = host,
   . dependencies = dependencies, upgrade = upgrade, force = force,
   . quiet = quiet, build = build, build_opts = build_opts,
   . build_manual = build_manual, build_vignettes = build_vignettes,
   . repos = repos, type = type, ...)
   . }
   . }, required = FALSE)
3. install_remotes(remotes, auth_token = auth_token, host = host,
   . dependencies = dependencies, upgrade = upgrade, force = force,
   . quiet = quiet, build = build, build_opts = build_opts, build_manual = build_manual,
   . build_vignettes = build_vignettes, repos = repos, type = type,
   . ...)
4. tryCatch(res[[i]] <- install_remote(remotes[[i]], ...), error = function(e) {
   . stop(remote_install_error(remotes[[i]], e))
   . })
5. tryCatchList(expr, classes, parentenv, handlers)
6. tryCatchOne(expr, names, parentenv, handlers[[1L]])
7. value[3L]

And :

install.packages("R6", dependencies = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

Installing package into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

system (cmd0): /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R CMD INSTALL

foundpkgs: R6, /tmp/RtmpNMSWAV/downloaded_packages/R6_2.5.0.tar.gz

files: /tmp/RtmpNMSWAV/downloaded_packages/R6_2.5.0.tar.gz

Warning message in install.packages("R6", dependencies = TRUE, verbose = TRUE):
“installation of package ‘R6’ had non-zero exit status”

I am a bit surprised by the dryness of the R error message which does not say a lot about this.
Do you see a way to solve this ?

Hi, I suggest to use the keep_outputs option to get more details about the failure:

R6 seems to be installed already:

As for autoxgboost, it seems like one dependency fails to install.
