gh-actions for r-cmd-check on package on private repository

[novica]

Hi,

I tried checking out the forum before writing but don't seem to be able to find a solution, so here is my question.

I have a package on private repository that imports another package from a private repository in the same organization (myorg/pak1 and myorg/pak2).

I can verify that both packages can be installed from Rstudio, and devtools::check() runs without errors. I have the package correctly put in the DESCRIPTION file in Imports and Remotes.

I am now trying to use the r-cmd-check.yaml, with usethis:

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, master]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main, master]

name: R-CMD-check

jobs:
  R-CMD-check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      R_KEEP_PKG_SOURCE: yes
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - uses: r-lib/actions/setup-r@v1
        with:
          use-public-rspm: true

      - uses: r-lib/actions/setup-r-dependencies@v1
        with:
          extra-packages: rcmdcheck

      - uses: r-lib/actions/check-r-package@v1

The workflow fails in setup-r-dependencies:

    extra-packages: rcmdcheck

I am not sure what I am missing or doing wrong. I have a github token which I presume is being loaded correctly in env:. I tried some things like installing the package explicitly with remotes but regardless I keep getting the same error.

Thanks for any hints.
