Re: Looking for help on R-cran-testthat testunit

Hello Joseph!

I waiting on a newer version of testthat because upstream found out more
about errors and fixed some.

==> 3rd edition requirement error is an ports framework problem of some
kind say upstream.
I asked uzsolt@ for help and he said to me that some workaround on cran
tests are being used by
ftp/R-cran-curl or print/R-cran-knitr

Using a custom make test:
```
do-test:
        @${FIND} ${WRKSRC} \( -name '*.o' -o -name '*.so' \) -delete
        @cd ${WRKDIR} ; ${SETENVI} ${WRK_ENV} ${MAKE_ENV}
_R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_=FALSE \
        ${R_COMMAND} ${R_PRECMD_CHECK_OPTIONS} CMD check \
        ${R_POSTCMD_CHECK_OPTIONS} ${PORTNAME}
```
it fixes the 3rd edition error and lead us to a new one that upstream
already merged a fix:
https://github.com/r-lib/testthat/issues/2214#issuecomment-3188669439
https://github.com/r-lib/testthat/issues/2214

Maybe I should update right away the test target on port now... not sure.

Cheers,
