This PR attempts to fix two issues related to R testing:
recently we received a report of the
testthat
library not being installed correctly. Upon examination, it appears that checkinginstalled.packages()
is sufficient, becauseinstalled.packages()
also lists dependencies in some rows, which can includetestthat
. So the R tester skipped installation. This is fixed by checkingrownames(installed.packages())
, which returns only the names of installed packages.In production, the libraries were not installing in the expected order. This sometimes resulted in the program attempting to install
tidyverse
beforestringi
. But sincestringi
is atidyverse
dependency, andstringi
requires specific configuration on ubuntu 22.04, this breaks the install process. Thus we ensure that stringi is always the first package installed.
