shinycoreci tests fail on Windows Server 2022 with pak for specific R versions #762
Description
We are using shinycoreci for automated Shiny application testing across multiple platforms:
- Windows Server 2022
- Ubuntu
- macOS
While tests pass on Ubuntu and macOS, we are encountering failures on Windows Server 2022 for some R versions. These failures seem linked to using pak for package installation/building. Other R versions on Windows using pak are succeeding.
- 4.4.3 ✅
- 4.3.3 ✅
- 4.2.3 ❌
- 4.1.3 ❌
- 4.0.5 ❌
The ones that fail complain with an error that is really hard to pinpoint the source of the error -
> Will download 1 CRAN package (22.31 MB).
