I continually have problems running revdepcheck
too. I'm trying to upload my first CRAN package, but I'm stuck on checking all downstream/reverse dependencies.
I'm doing everything as the second edition of Hadley Wickham's book suggests. I solved all pending issues indicated by devtools::check()
, however I'm not able to make the verification of reverse dependencies using the functions devtools::revdep_check()
and revdepcheck::revdep_check()
as suggested by Mr. Wickham.
With devtools::revdep_check()
I have the following error:
> devtools::revdep_check()
Error: 'revdep_check' is not an object exported from 'namespace: devtools'
With revdepcheck::revdep_check()
the following appears:
> revdepcheck::revdep_check(num_workers = 4)

I'm probably doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what it is. I also posted on this link, any help is welcome.
Bonus: When I tried to install via install.packages('revdepcheck', dep=T)
:
Warning message:
package ‘revdepcheck’ is not available for this version of R

The solution was to install directly from GitHub:
devtools::install_github('r-lib/revdepcheck')
