Suggests dependencies for web app

[Ruben Arslan]

Hi all,

I've got an OpenCPU web app running here http://rubenarslan.ocpu.io/codebook/www/

I broke it a while ago because I moved some dependencies to Suggests

(specifically a Dep on rio) which I need only for the web app, but not

for day-to-day operations with the package. Apparently, the Github hook

does not install Suggests dependencies. Is there any way to fix that without

moving the dependency back to Imports? I guess I could put the web app

in its own package.

It's not urgent (I'm mainly running the web app on my own server), but just curious.

Best,

Ruben

The server uses the default R behavior of install.packages() which
installs Depends/Imports but not Suggests. Indeed, if this package is
required in your webapp it has to be in Imports. So if you don't want
it to be a strong dependency in your current R package, I would
recommend to extract the webapp into a separate package, which depends
both on your package and rio.
