Wait for CRAN...

There is currently one error on CRAN:

With the comment:

Do remmber to look at any 'Additional issues'.

It seems we need to remind you of the CRAN policy:

'Packages which use Internet resources should fail gracefully with an informative message
if the resource is not available or has changed (and not give a check warning nor error).'

This needs correction whether or not the resource recovers.

Solution

The error is caused by this recent change, where observations_1.csv was replaced with observations_1.tsv. This was not caused by a skip_if_offline() because it is a function example, not a test
The example of get_schema() still calls observations, but the resource is now local. Here's how the example currently behaves without internet connection:

library(frictionless)

# Load the example Data Package
package <- example_package()

# Get the Table Schema for the resource "observations"
schema <- get_schema(package, "observations")
str(schema)

^{Created on 2024-08-26 with reprex v2.1.0}

That should resolve running the tests on CRAN. For users, I think frictionless in general follows the rOpenSci guidelines for graceful HTTP and we "transform the error into a useful error" with check_patch()

There is also a NOTE on cran:

Result: NOTE 
  Found the following Rd file(s) with Rd \link{} targets missing package
  anchors:
    read_resource.Rd: tibble
  Please provide package anchors for all Rd \link{} targets not in the
  package itself and the base packages.

This is caused by:

frictionless-r/R/read_resource.R

Line 19 in bea468d

#' @return [tibble()] data frame with the Data Resource's tabular data.

But has been fixed to:

frictionless-r/R/read_resource.R

Line 19 in f9185cb

#' @return A [tibble::tibble()] with the Data Resource's tabular data.
