I got an email from Thomas Pedersen. It said the following:
I'm writting to you because we are in the process of submitting ggplot2 v4.0.0 to CRAN. With a package like ggplot2 it is almost impossible to make any changes without breaking a test or a functionality in one of the thousands of reverse dependencies and unfortunately your package (nlmixr2rpt) are reported by CRAN as failing.
I'm happy to help out. I downloaded a tarball off of CRAN of nlmixr2rpt so I have the version that is there, then I installed the latest development version of ggplot2 this way:
pak::pak("tidyverse/ggplot2")
When I run R CMD check I don't see any issues.
R CMD check --run-donttest --as-cran nlmixr2rpt_0.2.1.tar.gz
Can someone tell me the issue with the nlmixr2rpt package and the new version of ggplot2 so I can fix it?
The CRAN tests report this:
Package: nlmixr2rpt
Check: package dependencies
New result: ERROR
Packages required but not available: 'xpose', 'xpose.nlmixr2'
See section ‘The DESCRIPTION file’ in the ‘Writing R Extensions’
manual.
I recognise this error as a problem upstream with the xpose (or xpose.nlmixr2) package, not necessarily a problem with nlmixr2rpt.
I've sent xpose a PR a while ago, but this may not have made its way to CRAN yet.
I know the maintainer for the xpose.nlmxir2 package. I'll reach out to him and see what hes working on/fixed it.
Got the email for rempsyc as well. I can reproduce the error with ggplot2 devel version v3.5.2.9002. However, the error originates from qqplotr::stat_qq_band() looking for function check_linewidth(). Using the devel version of qqplotr (v0.0.6.9000) fixes the issue, so I suppose we just need to wait for maintainer @aloy to send it over to CRAN (aloy/qqplotr#20).
