Use of Packages for R Exercises

[tolgatabanli]

Dear all,
I have been learning Artemis and reading through its documentation to write/transfer programming exercises in R for a course. It appeared to me that it is not that easy to use packages/library imports in the Artemis build. Every time a dependency is given in the DESCRIPTION file, it throws a build error, say for example in the Solution repo:

ERROR: dependency ‘tidyverse’ is not available for package ‘assignment’

I reckon it is so far impossible to integrate R packages in the exercises (?). Is that true? Would you have any possible ideas for an alternative approach? As a next step, I would be happy to open an issue for this feature because I find it to be essential to skills in R. Thank you!

cc @magaupp You might know about this.

The intention is that it should be possible to add a dependency in the DESCRIPTION file. Please open an issue if this doesn't work.

Thanks for the answer! Is it also true for the website application (artemis.cit.tum.de)?

[magaupp]

Yes

I reproduced the problem and opened an issue #10546
