GitHub actions failing (r-lib/actions/setup-r-dependencies@v1) as MASS: Needs R >= 4.3> but on

Time:06-16

Both GH actions (pkgdown & R-CMD-check) are failing when pushing content to the repo.

For both workflows (pkgdown & R-CMD-check) the run: r-lib/actions/setup-r-dependencies@v1 is failing on "Install Dependencies" with a call_remote_error: Cannot install packages: stating MASS: Needs R >= 4.3.

However, only R = 4.2 is currently available. And when I view MASS documentation we see that this actually depends on R >= 3.3, not 4.3 as stated in my error.

To Reproduce
the two workflows within the repo .github/workflows/ directory are:
R-CMD-check.yaml - failed workflow
pkgdown.yaml - failed workflow

Expected behavior
Checks to run and pass successfully as they have been doing previously (R-CMD-check pkgdown)

At first I thought this will have been a documentation/dependecy listing error, however this has been occuring for the last 14 days now, and this appears to be a shared issue.

Any help greatly appreciated.

CodePudding user response:

This has been fixed.

The issue was using the @v1 versions of r-lib/actions/... uses.

These needed to be manually bumped up to @v2.

In doing this two additional errors were created, but these are easily fixable as shown in this r-lib/actions GitHub issue log I created.

I hope this helps if anybody else has this issue.
